    This old vine wine is a grand expression of the Baga grape. It has dark color and rich tannins that will allow its bold berry fruit to age well. A serious, stylish wine, it's worth aging and drinking from 2019.

    Made from an old vineyard with schist soil, this fine wine is rich and full. It has style though, the tannins of the Baga restraining the texture and giving a fresh lift at the end. The dusty tannins and the perfumed acidity both speak to aging. Drink from 2018.

    A rich wine, full of dark plums, big and dusty tannins and a powerful core of dryness. The wood aging has brought out mint as well as spice, smoothing the rough edges to give an impressive and elegant finish. Keep for 4–5 years.
