Quinta da Vacariça Baga Anfora 2019

€ 26.86

He makes his wines strictly natural and traditional. This Baga is pressed in amphorae, which means that only a very small amount of the tannins are extracted from the grapes. A very fruity, light wine.

François Chasans is a caviste in Paris, in 1998 he tasted a Bairrada that led him to make wine himself in the region, in the country where his wife comes from. Quinta da Vacariça has about 3 ha, with some old vines and other recently planted vines. 2 ha in Tamengos, 100% Baga, 0.3 ha with 90 year old vines with a variety of native white and red varieties and 0.8 ha in Ventosa do Bairro. He is engaged in biodynamic viticulture and seeks the maximum representation of the terroir, with the planting of different clones, low yields, as well as classic winemaking, long stages, with little intervention. François, restless and perfectionist, explores his terroir as if there were gold in it and after leaving with his Baga nugget, he prepares the “nouvelle vague” of white Bairradinos.
