Dão, Beiras

Casa de Mouraz

Dão White Blend 2023

Has a salty chalky vegetal, bitter, yet yellow fruity thing going on - all over the place. But it calms down with air and food. This isn’t a sipping wine. Paired very well with fish and chips. / edit : I liked this considerably more on day two, more harmonious and complete. Pair with schwarma-spiced grilled chicken thighs and Mediterranean feeeixins. — 16 days ago

Nossa Calcario Bairrada Baga 2023

If one Portuguese varietal grabs me it’s Baga, & this bottling is one of the higher end bottlings I’ve tried. It’s early in its development so demands decanting and/or aging, but the stuffing is all there. Ripe red cherries, medium light body, some Burgundy adjacent analogies I’m sure. — 3 months ago

Caves São João

Quinta do Poço do Lobo Red Blend 1991

Mature and rather delicate with notes of prosciutto and iron. Probably better for a light charcuterie board then easy sipping in a Lisbon AirBnB. Old school Bairrada producer. — 2 months ago

Very fresh nose - green vines and fresh air, a bit of acetone. Red fruit, nice but not terribly complex. — 4 months ago

Quinta de Baixo

Lagar de Baixo Bairrada Baga

Light bodied red, raspberries, some savory notes in the finish akin to Oregon Pinot Noirs. The nose is timid, but the acids carry this. — 4 days ago

3B Bairrada Rosé Espumante Baga

Sparkling strawberries, more depth than your average sparkling rosé — 2 months ago

Luis Pato

Quinta do Moinho Red Blend 2009

Although wine may have been past its prime, it lacked a distinct aroma. It was well-balanced with relatively low tannic notes. — 4 months ago
