Bairrada wine is produced in the demarcated region of Bairrada, located in central Portugal. This region is known for its Mediterranean climate, limestone soil and Atlantic influence, which combined create ideal conditions for growing grapes. The grapes used in the production of Bairrada wine include Baga, Touriga Nacional and Alfrocheiro, which are grown on steep slopes. Bairrada wine is produced through a fermentation process in stainless steel tanks and is aged in oak barrels for a minimum period of six months, which helps to develop its characteristic flavor and smoothness. Bairrada wines can be red, white or rosé, with red being the most common. They are known for their deep, dark color, fruity aroma and intense flavor of red fruits such as blackberry, raspberry and cherry, combined with hints of spice and a lingering finish.
