QuintadeBaixoLagar,Baga,2021

Fresh, Mineral & Complex Organic Red from Portugal

The Lagar de Baixo is a versatile wine. Violet glints and an overall lively and bright appearance. The nose has aromas of red fruit such as cherries and red berries, herbaceous and floral notes and spicy hints from the barrel ageing. On the palate, the structure is delicate and very elegant. It finishes long with a lingering acidity.

STORY BEHIND THE WINE

The huge passion of Dirk Niepoort for Baga variety and the fantastic terroir of the Bairrada region led him to the acquisition of the Quinta de Baixo in 2012. Lagar de Baixo is a classically-styled wine made from a combination of very old vines and younger vines: complex, serious, but with some youth and grip.
