100% Baga, handpicked from different vineyards in Bairrada. Inspired by the Romans who left their clay jars in the region, the wine is fermented in amphorae with a long maceration on the skins. Aged for a further 6 months in amphorae to soften the tannins of the Baga grape. The name “Post-Quercus” means “after-oak”, referencing the complete use of amphorae in this unique wine.

"This has a lovely purity on the nose with aromas of red currants, blackcurrants, dried herbs and warm stones. The palate is medium-bodied and super drinkable, with supple tannins and a delicate red fruit finish. This comes from 80-year-old head-pruned vines planted on clay and limestone soil in is do Bairro. The wine fermented and aged in 400- and 700-liter clay amphorae. Love the drinkability. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now."
