Filipa Pato Nossa Missão Baga Pre-Phylloxera
Grape varieties: Baga (Vines over 150 years old pre-phylloxera).
Vinification: Meticulous manual selection, partial destemming, with the use of whole bunches depending on the vintage. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts, daily pigeage for 3 weeks and first pressing by gravity, followed by slow and gentle pressing to obtain an exceptionally pure wine.
Aging: 18 months in traditional kite flying.
Colour: Intense and bright dark red.
Aroma: Violets and strawberries when the wine is young. After 7 to 9 years, these aromas become extremely complex, with a lot of energy and concentration.
Flavour: The tannins are smooth, yet very lively, silky and velvety, combining with the vivacity of the acidity, in addition to being persistent, elegant and refreshing.
Serve: 16-18⁰
Consumption: Immediate or storage (35 years).
Harmonisation: Refined game meats, pigeon, duck, filet mignon or veal, cooked offal, never too spicy. Creamy cheeses with an intense flavor.
