Manuel Collection

2006 Bairrada Touriga Nacional 40%, Baga 40%, Tinta Roriz 20%

The Manuel Manuel Collection from the Bairrada region is a captivating red blend that showcases the unique characteristics of its varietals. Composed of a balanced mix of Touriga Nacional, Baga, and Tinta Roriz, this wine presents a medium-bodied profile that resonates with depth and complexity. Its acidity is high, delivering a bright and lively freshness that enhances the overall drinking experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring luscious notes of dark berries and ripe plums, perfectly supported by undertones of earthiness and spice. Tannins are notable, providing a firm structure that invites aging while adding a layer of sophistication. This wine is beautifully dry, making it an excellent choice for food pairing or enjoying on its own, and its 2006 vintage has aged gracefully, offering a rich tapestry of flavors that reflect the character of Bairrada.

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.
