Caves Alianca, founded in 1927 and later integrated into the Bacalhoa portfolio, is a historic pillar of the Bairrada region. The Alianca Reserva Branco is a classic expression of Bairrada's unique maritime terroir, where clay-limestone soils and cool Atlantic breezes shape the grapes. This white wine is crafted using traditional indigenous Portuguese varieties, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its bright, fresh, and mineral-driven profile. The heritage of Bairrada winemaking is defined by these crisp, high-acidity whites that have long been celebrated for their food-friendly nature and coastal soul.
