A deep and mournfull fadista sings her heart out in a lonely bar beneath the walls of Castelo São Jorge. Dressed all in black her dark hair gleams in the candlelight. She sings of the city and of lost loves and of the village she left behind, the fields and vineyards and rich, dark earth beneath her feet. Bittersweet memories floating through the air over the empty tables and out into the lonely night.
What The Sommelier Says
A deep, intense and austere nose. Fruity with notes of fresh red berries, spices, cloves, black pepper and some hints of tobacco. The barrel is present but very well integrated. On the palate, intense, with notes of red fruits and spices. Tannins well integrated with a medium body, long finish and tertiary notes. Brave, tense and full of character as a Bairrada wine should be.
Pairs well with…
…succulent grilled lamb chops on the bone, beef tenderloin, or a duck breast dripping in fat.

Region: Bairrada
Region: Bairrada
Bairrada produces wines with high acidity and tannins, often aged in oak barrels to soften the tannins and develop complex flavors. The region’s soil is predominantly clay and limestone, which helps to retain moisture and gives the wines a distinct minerality.
