WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Casal Mor Baga 2022 is produced using Baga grapes from the Bairrada region. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures, a technique chosen to preserve the wine's freshness and fruit character. Following fermentation, the wine rests for a short period before being bottled. This process is guided by winemaker Antero Silvano's objective to create a light-bodied wine with soft tannins and a pronounced fruity profile, deliberately avoiding oak influence to highlight the grape's natural attributes.
