Information

Bairrada Tinto is a full-bodied and complex red wine that comes from the Bairrada wine region in central Portugal. It has a deep ruby color and an intense aroma of dark fruits, such as blackberries, blackcurrants, and plums, with hints of spice and leather. On the palate, this wine is rich and full-bodied, with firm tannins and a good balance between acidity and fruitiness. The fruit flavors are complemented by a subtle oakiness, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of fruit and spice. It pairs well with hearty meat dishes, stews, and strong cheeses.
