The local Baga grape is notoriously difficult to tame, so it’s impressive how smooth this wine is. Yes, the Baga acidity is there, as well as just fleeting glimpses of awkward tannins, but the main effect is a wine that balances austerity with a solid, juicy texture, showing red fruits over the dry, tight core. 2–3 years aging would help.

A finely perfumed wine, its ripe fruits given extra style by wood aging. Made from the local Baga, this shows the potential of what can be a tannic grape. It has richness, structure, bramble and red stone fruits and a core of minerality. Drink now.

Aged in wood (there is no doubt about that from aroma and palate), this is potentially a rich, smooth, oily textured wine. At the moment, the wood dominates so give it a year for the fruit to broaden out to make a rich and delicious wine.

A lean, cool, initially austere wine, well balanced with red berry fruits and a poised elegant structure. The acidity gives great freshness to go with the structure, making a great food wine.

A wood-aged wine, showing beautifully restrained wood supporting lively, creamy apple- and pear-flavored fruits. Very sophisticated. Ready to drink, but will age.

Made from Cerceal, this is a delicious wine, lifted by some wood flavors giving a creamed baked apple flavor, with white currants and a final, refreshing burst of citrus.
