O Produtor, tasting note published in November 23rd 2023

Intense and deep colour. Distinctive aroma of great intensity and complexity with floral notes. In the mouth it has good breadth and precision, seductive, with evident fruit very focused on the floral, presents a good structure with dense but fine tannins. It imposes itself in the tasting more by its freshness than by its concentration, the finish is long, seductive and persistent.

Bafarela

Bafarela Grande Reserva is a wine that best expresses the elegance of one of Casa Brites Aguiar’s specialties. It is a limited edition, presented only in exceptional years.

Vinification: Harvest took place in September, with a meticulous selection of grapes in the vineyard. The de-stemming was complete, and the crushing was controlled. The wine underwent a pre-fermentation cold maceration for 48 hours. Fermentation occurred in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and maceration with moderate extraction lasted over 40 days. After malolactic fermentation in new stainless steel tanks, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels (500 liters), where it aged for 12 months.

It is a surprising wine that benefits from being opened some time before consumption. Its elegant and complex profile pairs ideally with fine meats, game, and intense cheeses. If stored for several years, it is natural for the wine to form sediment in the bottle, so it should be handled carefully and decanted for optimal enjoyment. The bottle should be kept on its side, in a cool, dry place, away from light.
