Baga, Touriga Nacional, and Merlot
Located in the heart of Portugal's Bairrada region, Casa de Saima seeks to build on centuries old history of producing fine wines with local varietals Baga, Maria Gomes and Bical. In order to preserve not only the history and tradition but also the environment for her 15-70 year old vines - some planted to the famous Vinha da Corga vineyard, Graça Maria tends to them with biodynamic practices and integrated practices, seeking to balance the soil and vines in order to ensure the health of the vineyards for the future.
