-- tasted non-blind --
-- 80% Baga, 20% Touriga Nacional --
NOSE: wet cement; blackberries; hints of red licorice and flowers; a bit high-toned; has a very Cab. - like aromatics.
BODY: medium-light bodied.
TASTE: rustic, with medium-fine grained tannins; very faint hint of funk; light blackberries/plums; 12.5% alc. not noticeable; medium+ acidity; moreish; a legitimate Pinot Noir substitute, from a culinary perspective. Came across as a bit heavier on Day 4 than it was on Day 1, but still excellent. Will likely buy again. (381 views) | | | Tasted by jkvedar on 9/8/2021 & rated 90 points: I like this wine. I don’t have much experience with Portuguese table wines. This one smells a bit like right- bank Bordeaux on the nose- spice, white pepper, blackberry all come through. No real oak character, which is the first clue that something is different. On the palate, medium-bodied. Acidity is high -another clue it ain’t Bordeaux. Tannins present but we’ll-integrated. For a wine in this price range, it over-performs and has a particularly long finish. (220 views) |
| 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.

Red Blend.Portugal ViniPortugal (Associação Interprofissional para a Promoção dos Vinhos Portugueses/Portuguese Wine Trade Association)BeirasTo the south of both Minho and Trás-os-Montes lies the region of Beiras, stretching the full width of Portugal. 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. |
