WINE DESCRIPTION
Made primarily from Baga, a grape variety indigenous to Bairrada known for its structure and acidity, Chumbado Tinto reflects the unique characteristics of the local climate and calcareous clay soils. The winemaking process involves natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging in large oak barrels or casks, which contributes to the wine's complexity and depth without overpowering the fruit's natural flavors. Quinta das Bágeiras creates wines that are authentic, showcasing the raw beauty and distinctiveness of Bairrada's terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The flavors of ripe dark fruits are interwoven with nuances of licorice, dark chocolate, and a touch of oak, leading to a long and persistent finish. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, suggesting that the wine has the potential to age gracefully.

ORIGINS
Winery: Quinta das Bágeiras
Region: Bairrada
Bairrada is an evolving wine region in northern Portugal with a long history of winemaking dating back to the 10th century. The region was awarded DOP status in 1979, sparking the emergence of individual winemaking estates and the development of more modern and approachable styles.
Bairrada has been producing wine since Portugal gained independence from the Moors in the 10th century, with its red wines gaining popularity in Britain by the early 1700s. In 1756, The Marquis of Pombal ordered that Bairrada’s vineyards should be uprooted, setting back winemaking in the region. In 1887, the Escola Prática de Viticultura da Bairrada was founded, producing Portugal’s first méthode champenoise sparkling wine in 1890.CUSTOMER RATING
