Always keen on the quality and character of his wines, Mário Sergío relies on a strict yield limitation and, for his red wines, on barrel aging for several years, which is expensive but definitely worth it. Natural and long-lasting wines, characterized by a mostly clayey and calcareous soil, hundred-year-old Baga vines and a harvest that is still carried out by hand are part of the recipe for success. The wines of the Quinta das Bageiras start their fermentation without the addition of added yeasts from the laboratory and the espumantes (crémants) are created without the so-called "dosage", a wine and sugar solution that is traditionally added to the sparkling wine to regulate the sugar content.
As a special feature of his red wines, he has retained the classic fermentation of the grapes with the grappa, the stalks. Mário Sergío explains that his harvest is so well matured that the tannins in the wood are ripe and not biting and green. In addition, the grapes are still traditionally mashed with their feet in open vats, as in Burgundy, and then fermented. The red wines are produced exclusively from the finest Bairrada variety, the Baga vine. This is how natural products are created at the highest level, which are highly convincing in terms of quality and taste.

In addition to his white and red wines and the hand-shaken champagne sparkling wine, he also produces an excellent grappa and a highly awarded and extraordinarily fine and aromatic brandy in his own small distillery.
