On Saturday April 26 I give a wine tasting workshop about the Bairrada wine region. In the workshop we will dive into the history and specifics of the region, the style of winemaking and the different terroirs.The tasting includes 7 wines, with 2 sparkling, whites and reds. The wines are accompanied by bites from House of Wonders. The wine tastings takes place on Saturday afternoon at 16:00 in Cascais.
Bairrada is famous for its sparkling wines and elegant and structured reds, made from the Baga grape variety. It has a great influence from the Atlantic Ocean and a relatively cool and humid climate, which favours grapes with high acidity and low alcoholic content. Perfect for production of sparkling wines and elegant, structured reds.
Bairrada is not that well known outside of Portugal. Wine enthusiasts may know about the reds from the Baga grape variety, but outside of Portugal these wines are hard to get. The Espumantes are internationally even more unknown, while the overall quality is on a level that leaves many Cavas and Proseccos far behind.
