This very authentic Baga - “Post-Quercus” (after oak) - has certainly no make-up! It has been fermented and aged in amphorae. Amphorae because they are made of clay – part of the soli of our region. This clay allows a gentle micro-oxygenation which helps this Baga a lot to get silky fine tannins. The grapes are handpicked from different vineyards in Bairrada. Partly destemmed, fermented in amphorae (400–600 l) with very little extraction and long maceration on the skins. After the fermentation, the wine is aged in amphorae for 6 months.
100% Baga - Chalky clay mid-slopes with eastern orientation to the sun and a very intense Atlantic influence (only 15 km from the ocean). For this wine the grapes come from different small plots of Pato's oldest vineyards (80 –130 years). These 3 centenary vineyards were purchased already some years ago and are fully converted to biodynamics.
The bunches are handpicked and hand-selected from the centenary vineyards in Bairrada (3 to 4 bunches/vine). Partly de-stemmed, fermented in open oak lagares with some extraction (pigeage). After the fermentation the wine is aged in 500 –600 used pipes and tonel (big cask) for 18 months. Prior to release, the wine further aged in bottle for 2 months.
