| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.6 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by cofidis2 on 5/8/2024 & rated 94 points: Approaching 13 yrs old, you’d never know by tasting it. Chalky tannins, tar, saddle leather, acidity, and blackberries. Well structured with a lingering chalky finish. This has years, more likely decades, to go. 100% Baga from very old vines. 94/100 points. (68 views) | | | Tasted by Montesquieu on 8/1/2022 & rated 90 points: I still feel the same way about this wine as I did on 6/16/2022, the first of three bottles consumed. Immensely tannic, dry, meaty, and earthy. The polar opposite of a fruit-forward New World wine. Wine Advocate's drinking window extends to 2045, and they're probably right. This has hardly evolved in its first 11 years. I can imagine its turning into something intensely mushroomy and therefore great, but that will take another 1-2 decades. My bottles won't retain their slots for that long. Maybe someone will come back and tell me how great this wine becomes in 2040. (481 views) | | | Tasted by Montesquieu on 6/16/2022 & rated 91 points: A bruiser of a wine. Loaded with tannins, earth, tar. The old vines produced a wine with structure and stuffing to go a long time. One could pave their tarmac with this. Probably decades of life left. I don't know how this evolves during that lifetime, but I'd guess there's high potential for this at eventual maturity. I'm still giving this a solid 91 rating today while limiting my recommendation to those comfortable with an earthy style of unfamiliar grapes. This is a stylistic opposite of fruit-driven, New World reds. My rating reflects my preference for Old World over New World styles. (479 views) | | | Tasted by seanucsb on 3/29/2020 & rated 88 points: 100% Baga from 90 year old vines from the Bairrada, Portugal. Full bodied, purple plums, smoked meat and monster tannins from a 9 year old wine. Great acidity balance helps wash those mouth grippers down. (820 views) | | | Tasted by fanglangzhe on 3/8/2020 & rated 89 points: dark fruits, leather, ink, minty oak. med acidity. long finish. (823 views) | | | Tasted by Wine Buergler on 5/6/2017 & rated 90 points: Tinny tinto taste fruity with spicy church wine aftertaste - definitely not my style but expected more from 2011 - alcohol at 14% ... will wait 6 months or so and try again

| Quinta das Bágeiras Producer website
A Quinta das Bágeiras foi fundada em 1989 por Mário Sérgio Alves Nuno, que reuniu as vinhas de várias gerações da sua família, fazendo um total de 12 hectares. Iniciou-se nesse ano o engarrafamento do vinho produzido na quinta, pois antes era vendido a granel a outras caves da região da Bairrada.
Logo em 1989, os primeiros vinhos ganharam alguns prémios a nível nacional. Nesse mesmo ano o próprio Mário Sérgio Alves Nuno, aos 23 anos, obteve o 2º prémio nacional de Jovem Agricultor Português, prémio que recebeu novamente em 1991, devido ao seu projecto de construção de uma cave que possibilitou a produção de espumante.
A vinha foi aumentada e melhorada continuamente, desde 2002 passou para 28 hectares, e as condições da adega foram aumentando com o objectivo de produzir melhor. Estas foram as razões para Mário Sérgio Alves Nuno ser eleito em 2004 o melhor Agricultor do Ano em Portugal.
Em 2012 Mário Sérgio Alves Nuno foi eleito "Produtor do Ano" pela Revista de Vinhos.

Beiras is home to the more well-known DOCs of Bairrada and Dão, along with the less well-known DOCs of Távora-Varosa in the north, butting up to the Douro region, Lafões in the north west, meeting the southernmost part of the Minho region, and the large DOC Beira Interior in the north east and the south east of Beiras. Bairrada lies to the west of the region, though it doesn’t reach the coast, while Dão occupies the central part of the region.Bairrada Commissão Vitivínicola Bairrada (Official site, Portuguese)
DO Bairrada lies west of the better-known Dão region, cooled by Atlantic breezes and populated by the distinctive baga vine, an ancient, indigenous and defiantly thick-skinned grape variety.
Bairrada is an area of agricultural smallholdings, growing cereals and beans as well as vines on heavy, fertile clay soils. Winemaking in the region is dominated by cooperatives, though an increasing number of small independent producers also operate. Bairrada is unusual in that one grape dominates, almost to the exclusion of other varieties: over 80% of Bairrada’s production is red wine, mostly made from the Baga grape, which is native to the region. Baga needs careful handling, as it can be quite aggressive. White grapes are mostly maria gomes (known as Fernão Pires elsewhere in Portugal) and Bical, largely grown to produce sparkling wines. |
