Nossa Calcario Bairrada Baga 2023

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. — a month ago

I think Bairrada is the most underrated region in Portugal.

There’s great Portuguese Mencia- they call it Jaen- from the Dao region. I also humbly recommend their Touriga Nacional grape

Sparkling strawberries, more depth than your average sparkling rosé — 3 months ago

Caves São João

Quinta do Poço do Lobo Red Blend 1991

Mature and rather delicate with notes of prosciutto and iron. Probably better for a light charcuterie board then easy sipping in a Lisbon AirBnB. Old school Bairrada producer. — 4 months ago

Quinta de Foz de Arouce

Vinho Regional Beiras Red Blend 2012

Interesting red blend that features the Baga (85%) grape. Blended with Touriga National (15%). Very dark color but lighter in body than I would have expected. Bright and jammy red fruit aromas and flavors with hints of prunes and dark chocolate. Solid acidity and very long finish. Moderate finish and tannins. In a very good place right now. Thanks for sharing and insisting we open this one, Ron B! — 5 years ago

Vinho Rosé Baga 2005

I had this exactly a year ago, and it tastes much better now. Maybe it needed that extra time, or my palate is different. Still strong acidity and grappa notes, but the finish is long and feels more layered. Apricots, herbs, dried orange peel. Not so much prune as before. One left in the cellar, so I’ll try again next year. — 3 years ago

Caves São João

Frei João Bairrada Baga Blend 1985

In beautiful shape, better than I remember the last bottle being. Dried red and black fruits, dry dusty tannins, forest floor, dried porcini mushroom and old leather umami nodes, cedar, dried herbs. Did I mention it’s dry? But it’s a beautiful wine, the flavor profile exudes sun baked warmth but the alcohol clocks in at less than 12% so it doesn’t fatigue the palate — 3 years ago

Casta Baga Bruto Espumante

Dirty, dusty red fruit - red currant, raspberry, rose hip, but also a whiff of blood orange with a mineral core underneath, fresh & slightly funky.
Bone dry on the palate, with persistent bubbles, juicy fruit and a slight touch of tannins. The irony, bloody character of Baga shines through.
Unorthodox, delicious stuff. Brilliant with food.
