Bairrada Messias Baga is a distinguished red wine originating from the Bairrada region of Portugal, crafted by Caves Messias, a renowned winery with a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality wines. This particular wine showcases the Baga grape, which is indigenous to the region and known for its robust character and aging potential.

Tasting Notes Intense ruby colour transitioning to garnet, intense and complex aroma where truffles are involved with balsamic nuances. Everything at its point of maximum maturity. Muscular profile, but with very round and precise tannins. Very long and fresh finish.

Serving & Food Pairing:Serve your red wine at room temperature 16-18ºC. Older wines require decanting to separate grape residue and to bring out the flavours and make the wine softer and more enjoyable to drink. After this you can best wait for about 1-2 hours+ before drinking the wine. Pair your red Bairrada with roast pork with crackling or braised beef ribs which go nicely with red wines made from the Baga grape.
