Quinta da Serradinha Baga 2019 Organic
€ 32.50
This 100% Baga comes from the vineyards planted by Antonio’s grandfather in the 1950’s. Here the Baga benefits from the mild climate of this area of the appellation (the northernmost zone of Lisbon) and the Atlantic cool winds. Each bottle is adorned with a wooden ladybug on the cork. The story goes that Antonio's father was about to open a bottle when a real one landed right on top of it. Also of note, this is the first viticultural estate ever to be certified organic in Portugal.
The drought of the land, compensated by the humidity of the Atlantic winds at the end of the ripening, made the primary aromas of the grapes give a greater complexity to the wine
Quinta da Serradinha is a very old estate located 18 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean, in a region where fine wines have been produced for over a thousand years.
