Giz Bairrada Vinhas Velhas Baga 2021

What a nose! Complex, enticing, quite elegant. Black fruit & black cherries, nice wood accents, a bit of earthy notes, a hint of leather. Actually very Bordeaux’esque… and yet slightly different. Warmer. Closer to Bolgheri or Maremma. So enticing.
On the palate this is much lighter - very Baga in style. Light yet with presence & punch. Love the tannic frame - present & firm yet so juicy. Brilliant freshness and purity and great depth. This has real character and is so delicious at the same time.
From centenarian Baga vineyards on stony slopes.
A brilliant wine!

Lua Cheia-Saven

Lua Cheia em Vinhas Velha Douro Red Blend 2015

It’s got the nose of a Douro red, and the it’s got the punch of a Douro red on the first sip. Strangely enough it becomes a more normal rose on subsequent sips. Crisp and clean acidity until a few bitter high notes intrude on the finish. This is my new favorite rose! — 6 months ago
