Colheita Bairrada Red 2021

Produced in the Bairrada wine region of Portugal, known for its unique terroir characterized by clay-limestone soils and Atlantic climate influences.

The wine is typically made from traditional Bairrada grape varieties, predominantly Baga, which is native to the region and known for producing structured and age-worthy reds.

The Colheita Bairrada Red is crafted using hand-harvested grapes from Quinta do Ortigão vineyards. The winemaking process includes careful fermentation with temperature control to preserve varietal character, followed by aging in oak barrels to enhance complexity and structure.

This red wine exhibits a deep ruby color with aromas of ripe red fruits, subtle spice, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it offers firm tannins balanced by fresh acidity, with flavors of cherry, plum, and hints of vanilla from oak aging. The finish is persistent and elegant.
