Description

A rustic, fruity Bairrada red from a blend of Traditional grapes. Intense berry and baked fruit aromas with spice and appealingly rustic notes. Vibrant plum and black cherry on the palate with liquorice hints, robust tannins, and finely poised acidity.

The Bairrada region is to the mid North West of Portugal. It’s a pretty flat, coastal region with a maritime climate great for producing rich, full bodied wines like this Bairrada red.

Additional information

Alianca

One of Portugal's largest and most progressive producers with 600 hectares spread across estates in five regions from Douro in the north to Alentejo in the south. Winemaker Francisco Antunes oversees what must be one of the most diverse ranges in Europe, from the 3rd largest Portuguese rose brand (Casal Mendes) to some of the country's most impressive premium reds from estates in Douro, Dao, Bairrada and Alentejo. Arguably, Francisco's greatest achievements lie between these extremes, a range of mid-priced wines from native varieties, full of character, quite distinctly Portuguese, but at the same time approachable and with fresh, modern fruit.

Production

Following a tight control of maturation in order to harvest fully ripe and healthy fruit, the grapes are vinified without being totally destemmed and macerated for 5 days in cold temperatures. The fermentation lasted for about 6 days. Produced from a blend of traditional local grapes. Fermentation in stainless steel.
