Vadio Red 2020

€ 17.85

Raspberry scent with a hint of wild herbs and smoky minerality on the nose, it has a peppery, red cherry and floral note reminiscent of the Alps in spring. Wonderfully fresh with a light and attractive fruit profile - this is Baga at its most elegant and sophisticated.

Elegant Bairrada from a small family-owned estate, where the local baga grape is tamed to deliver floral fragrance with cherry and savoury fruit and finely honed tannins. Talented winemaker Luís Patrão, formerly of Herdade do Esporão in the Alentejo, returned to his family vineyard and works full time on his own wines in the Bairrada village of Poutena.

Food-Pairing

Highly recommended with meat, game and red cheese such as Époisses.

Grapes : 100% Baga

Produced from 100% Baga planted to limestone and clay. The harvest was done by hand, the grapes were pressed whole and fermentation started with autochthonous yeasts. The expansion lasts at least 24 months and takes place in used French barriques and foudres, followed by 12 months of bottle aging in a dark, cool cellar. Only then is the wine ready for sale
