This Messias quinta in Bairrada, in the hills away from the coast, has produced a concentrated wine, dark in tannins and black plum-skin flavor. It is dense and dry in character, with attractive acidity at the end. It's a wine to age, so drink from 2017.

As often with wines that have some Baga in the blend, rusticity fights with elegance. In this case, elegance is winning as the wine ages. The herbal element is important as is the sweet jelly fruit.
