**Bairrada** is a wine region in central Portugal, set on clay-rich lowlands not far inland from the Atlantic coast between Coimbra and Aveiro. **Wines & grapes** — It is best known for firm, structured reds from the local Baga grape, along with crisp whites and a strong tradition of traditional-method sparkling wine. Arinto, Bical and Maria Gomes are common white varieties. **Character** — The maritime climate brings rain and cooling, so Baga ripens slowly and keeps high acidity and tannin, giving reds that can be austere young but reward patient cellaring. Chalky-clay soils reinforce the wines' freshness and longevity. **Good to know** — Bairrada's sparkling wines are among Portugal's most highly regarded.
