The huge passion of Dirk Niepoort for Baga variety and the fantastic terroir of the Bairrada region led him to look for small parcels of Baga in very old vines, scattered throughout the Cantanhede region. With the acquisition of the Quinta de Baixo in 2012, it became possible to recreate the Lagar de Baixo brand, moving towards a classically-styled wine which highlights the nobility of Baga grown in Bairrada.
Tasting Note: The nose is fresh and inviting: ripe cherries and wild red berries lead the way, woven through with delicate herbaceous and floral notes, and a whisper of spice from careful barrel ageing. On the palate, the wine reveals a refined, silky structure — light-footed yet precise. The finish is long and graceful, with a bright, lingering acidity that keeps you reaching for another glass.
