Baga is a red grape variety from the Bairrada region of Portugal, known for producing tannic, full-bodied wines with high acidity. Baga wines often feature flavors of blackcurrant, cherry, and earthy notes, with a potential for long aging. The ABV typically ranges from 12-14%. Baga's popularity is attributed to its robust structure and the ability to produce both youthful and aged wines with great complexity.
The maritime climate and clay-limestone soils of Bairrada provide the ideal conditions for Baga, helping to maintain its acidity and tannin levels. The grape's resilience to adverse weather and disease makes it a reliable choice for winemakers. Baga's versatility is also seen in its use in sparkling wines and blends, showcasing its adaptability and depth. Its rich history and strong regional identity further contribute to its enduring appeal.
