Bairrada's indigenous Baga grape produces some of Portugal's most demanding and age-worthy reds: high tannin, high acid, and earthy complexity that can achieve transcendence with two or more decades of cellaring. Modern winemakers are taming Baga's rough edges while preserving its distinctive character.
