ORIGINS
Winery: Quinta de Foz de Arouce
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
