About the Producer
Bacalhôa offers wines that truly represent Portuguese terroirs, grape varieties and wine styles. The history of the winery dates to the 1920s and has grown to present their own labels and quality line from Alentejo, Península de Setúbal, Bairrada, Beiras, Dão and Douro. They manage their own vineyards, are both an important employer and partner with local growers. The company breathed new life in the Setúbal peninsula when they took over an abandoned distribution centre in Azietão to develop their main winery home. A little known fact: the family of the main principal José Berardo are tremendous art lovers, and the Azietão winery facility is also home to public art galleries, including traditional Portuguese tile art as well as an impressive art deco collection (parts of which have been borrowed for use in the BBC Hercule Poirot films).
Reviews & Notes
Sylvia Jansen
"Think funky cheese plate. Then think a glass of chilled Moscatel de Setúbal, sweet and strong. Then sit back. Enjoy the evening!"
Gary Hewitt
"A lovely fortified dessert wine with pretty rose petal and Turkish delight flavours, a soft palate, and a medium finish. Not complex but with lots of character and a perfect partner for stewed fruit desserts, funky cheeses, nuts, fruit cake and ... butter tarts. A remarkable value. 2016 tasted 23 Dec 2019."
