Fogueira is the hamlet where Mario Sergio took over his grandfather's parcels in 1989. One hundred per cent Baga, fermented in an open lagar and aged in used casks — the method the estate has never let go of. Twenty-two years in bottle have rounded Baga's tannin completely, while the acidity that lets the grape live so long is still there. Complexity fourteen: the deepest bottle of our Bairrada.

Frederico and his father Mario Sergio are the third and fourth generations of the Nuno family who make wine in the north of the Bairrada region. They make wines and espumantes that are very easily recognizable for their distinct character.
