Aguardente Bagaceira

Caves Montanha is a Portuguese producer known for traditional spirits. The Aguardente Bagaceira is crafted in Portugal, reflecting the country’s rich heritage in distilling pomace brandies.

Aguardente Bagaceira is a pomace brandy made from the distillation of grape marc, the solid remains of grapes after pressing for winemaking. It typically uses local Portuguese grape varieties.

The production involves distilling the grape pomace in copper pot stills or column stills, following traditional Portuguese methods. The spirit is then often aged in wooden casks to develop complexity and smoothness.

• Aroma: Intense and fruity with hints of grape skins, floral notes, and subtle wood nuances.
• Palate: Full-bodied and robust, with a balance of sweetness and warmth, featuring flavors of ripe fruit, spices, and a touch of oak.
• Finish: Long and smooth with a pleasant warming sensation.

• Cheeses, especially aged or strong-flavored varieties.
• Grilled meats and hearty stews, complementing the spirit’s robust character.
