Product details
Once picked, the Baga grapes are piled into a wide wooden lagar ,introduced in Roman times. We crush the grapes by feet. The human foot exerts just the right pressure on the grapes: enough to extract colour and tannin, but not enough to break the bitter pips. When we have the alcohol level we want to achieve, the wine is run off the skins. We fortify with our illustrious brandy of Baga wine, which stops the fermentation and leaves the residual sweetness in the wine. The Espirito, or Spirit, as you now know why, is bottled after two years of aging in authentic old barrels called pipas. In the bottle it can age for 15 years or more. It will soften into a delicious, slightly sweet and perfumed wine with the most delicious blend of blackberry, blackcurrant, cherry and damson fruits, a tobacco or herby spice and a peppery heart.
