Baga is a resilient red grape variety indigenous to Portugal's Bairrada region, known for producing deeply colored, full-bodied wines with a robust structure and high acidity. These wines often exhibit flavors of dark berries, plums, and spice, with an aging potential that softens their initially firm tannins, leading to a more complex and nuanced bouquet. The grape's thick skin contributes to its intense color and tannic nature, making Baga wines well-suited for hearty dishes and aging.
