Nossa Calcario Bairrada Baga

If one Portuguese varietal grabs me it’s Baga, & this bottling is one of the higher end bottlings I’ve tried. It’s early in its development so demands decanting and/or aging, but the stuffing is all there. Ripe red cherries, medium light body, some Burgundy adjacent analogies I’m sure.

First time I actually like a Portuguese wine. A ton of a Brett. Yet also red fruit. Cherry. Dark. Grown on limestone. 100 year old vines.
