Bairrada

Bairrada

It is a flat, coastal region that develops along a maritime coastal strip, with a marked Atlantic influence, with abundant rainfall and mild average temperatures.

The property is subdivided into numerous small plots, with the soils separated into clay-limestone and sandy strips, each imparting its own unique style based on which element dominates. The region was one of the pioneers in adopting and exploring sparkling wines, which continue to be highly valued in the area, thanks to its cool and damp climate that produces grapes with high acidity and low alcohol content.

 

 

Within the region, there are two distinct winemaking philosophies: the classic style, which focuses primarily on the Baga grape variety, and the new bairradino style, which incorporates both national and international grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Syrah.

 

Fernão Pires (also known as Maria Gomes) is the predominant white grape variety, followed by Arinto, Bical, Cercial, and Rabo de Ovelha. Meanwhile, Baga is the most common red grape variety, followed by Alfrocheiro, Tinta Pinheira, and Touriga Nacional.
