| Type of grape variety |
Red |
| Description |
Baga is the main red grape variety of Bairrada, being also grown in Dão, Estremadura and in some areas of Ribatejo.
It is of high production and has late-ripening bunches made up of small berries. In clayey soils with good exposure to sunlight, this grape variety can ripen adequately and produce very dark wines, rich in aromas, capable of ageing in bottle for many years. In fertile soils, where there is a high production of bunches, the ripening of the grape becomes harder. This makes the wines less alcoholic and much acidic. |
