About this Item

2014 Lagar de Baixo
5 (1 x 5) 750ml

Producer tasting notes: With its light ruby colour, this wine offers aromas of cherries and blackberries as well as subtle vegetal notes reminiscent of grape stems. It is a delicate but deeply expressive wine, with fresh and mouth-watering fruitiness. The palate is grippy, with noticeable and slightly earthy tannins which are typical of the Baga variety. The long maturation period in the vats lends the wine plenty of precision and a compact structure. Despite its youth, this fine and elegant red already shows excellent balance.

Critics Ratings

'All Baga, fermented in lager and aged in old oak. One of Dirk Niepoort's determinedly fresh light reds. Very slightly sweaty nose (perhaps it was served too warm?) but with masses of very pure fruit. Very fresh, lifted and accessible.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20 (Jan 2019)
