António Maçanita, one of Portugal’s rising stars, offers the 2018 Baga ao Sol unoaked. Unlike many of the varietal wines made from Baga, one of Portugal’s most noble native grapes, which are robust and quite tannic, Maçanita produces a restrained, soft, fresh, full-fruited expression. The palate offers bright red fruit, ample acidity, and supple tannins, making it utterly quaffable. The Baga ao Sol is the perfect combination of novelty, quality, and value irresistible to oenophiles.
