Douro legend, Dirk Niepoort, long a fan of Barriada and its native grapes, joined winemaker Sérgio Silva at Quinta de Baixo in 2012. Niepoort and Silva converted the estate to Biodynamic viticulture, reinforcing a deep connection between soil, plant, and climate. The vineyards focus on classic Bairrada varieties: Baga for reds and Bical and Maria Gomes for whites. Red wines are crafted using whole clusters and stems to produce lighter, more elegant expressions of Baga—showcasing concentration and depth without heavy extraction or elevated alcohol levels. Quinta de Baixo, under Niepoort’s stewardship, has become a benchmark for the new Bairrada, as thoughtful farming and minimal intervention reveals the full potential of this unique terroir.

This is a beautiful wine with very pretty aromatics. Light and delicate with lifted red berry fruits and floral aromas. A fantastic alternative to Pinot Noir for those looking to explore.
