2015 Sidonio de Sousa Vinho de Autor Red, 750ml

This Baga is made the old-school way—no shortcuts, no additives, just pure expression. The grapes are crushed without decanting and cooled in small open fermenters, where skin maceration kicks off naturally before fermentation—no added enzymes or yeasts here! The juice is manually treaded with wooden masses for maximum extraction, then moved to cement and stainless steel tanks to rest until December. After that, it spends 12 months aging in massive 4,000-liter national oak barrels.  

Deep garnet in color, this wine is all about intensity—bold aromas, bright acidity, and well-structured yet smooth tannins. After 8 years of aging, it still holds onto its freshness and powerful character, making it a true classic Baga!
