Dirk Niepoort's great passion for the Baga grape variety and the fantastic terroir of the Bairrada region led him to look for small parcels of Baga in very old vines, scattered throughout the Cantanhede region. These wines were light in colour and alcoholic content, elegant and fine, soon after bottling, but with a huge ageing potential.
With the acquisition of the Quinta de Baixo in 2012, it became possible to recreate the Lagar de Baixo brand, moving towards a classically-styled wine which highlights the nobility of Baga grown in Bairrada.
This red Lagar de Baixo is the result of a combination of very old vines and younger vines: complex, serious, but with some youth and grip.
Every wine in Mitchell & Son has been carefully selected, researched and taste tested by our team, so we stand behind each selection on our retail list. If you are not happy with a wine, a delivery, or any aspect of our service, please contact us and we will be only too happy to help you in any way we can.
