A distinctive and characterful expression of Baga from the Douro, this 2021 release from Quinta do Vale Meão shows the estate’s ability to balance structure with finesse.
Sourced from carefully selected parcels, the wine reflects the resilience of the Baga grape. The vintage brings excellent definition, with steady ripening allowing for full flavour development while preserving freshness.
In the cellar, a gentle, thoughtful approach ensures the purity of fruit remains front and centre, with controlled extraction and measured oak ageing helping to refine the naturally firm tannins of the variety.
Aromas of wild red berries, sour cherry and subtle earthy spice lead into a palate that is vibrant and structured. Fine-grained tannins provide grip, while a bright acidity carries the wine through to a long, savoury finish.
