Lagar de Baixo

2009 Bairrada Baga (50%), Touriga-Nacional (50%)

Lagar De Baixo is a remarkable red wine hailing from the esteemed Bairrada region, where the unique terroir enhances the character of its varietals. This 2009 vintage showcases a delightful balance between Baga and Touriga Nacional, creating a complex and alluring profile. The wine presents a medium to full body, inviting the palate with vibrant acidity that beautifully elevates the rich and intense fruit flavors, including notes of dark berries and plums. The tannins are notably firm yet well-integrated, providing structure while allowing the wine's fruit-forward personality to shine. With its food-friendly qualities, Lagar De Baixo pairs splendidly with hearty dishes, making it an excellent choice for any gathering or special occasion.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
