SIDÓNIO DE SOUSA BAIRRADA, PORTUGAL

From one of the original select “Baga Friends” comes a portfolio of pure baga wines unlike many others. Sidónio de Sousa, recognized for having amongst the oldest of the baga vines in Bairrada, continues to make wine in the traditional way – using 100 year-old Portuguese oak barriques for his reds and champenois method for his sparklers, resulting in elegant aged (and age-worthy) wines.
