The wine region of Bairrada
Portuguese DOC of the central-west, kingdom of native Baga (>50%). Dense, structured reds with signature notes of black cherry, plum, eucalyptus, tobacco and earthy notes, firm tannins and lively acidity — wines of very long ageing. Also fruity Castelão and perfumed Touriga Nacional. Floral Maria Gomes (Fernão Pires), lively Arinto, mineral Bical whites.
The wine region of Beiras
Vast region of north-central Portugal, a fragmented mosaic of distinct sub-regions. In the west, Bairrada makes dense Baga reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry and leather, firm tannins — the base of the great Portuguese sparkling wines. In the centre, Dao produces fine Touriga Nacional reds (violet, raspberry, spice) and elegant Encruzado whites (flowers, citrus, butter). To the continental east, fleshy Touriga of Beira Interior and aromatic Fernao Pires.
The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
