What The Fellas Say

Luis Pato says that this is his personal interpretation of a typical Bairrada white and who are we to argue with the master!? On the palette, this is like lying in an orchard on a dusty, late summer afternoon with a gentle breeze brushing the tips of one’s toes.

What The Sommelier Says

The heady and enticing aroma of pear juice, white flower, apple and toasted almond. Excellent acidity on first touch, well-balanced medium body, dry, lemony and juicy. Very gastronomic.

Pairs well with…

Works great all by itself as an aperitivo, but imagine it washing down a lighly-broiled sea-bass or a bowl of steamed mussels.

About The Winemakers

The Pato family has been producing wine at Quinta do Ribeirinho since at least the 18th century. João Pato began bottling wine from his vineyards in 1970, becoming the first producer/bottler in the Bairrada region after its demarcation. His son Luis Pato inherited his nonconformist and pioneering spirit, and in 1980 produced his first wine, a single-varietal Baga of exceptional quality and absolute rarity, which is today sought after by connoisseurs as a treasure.

About The Winemakers

Region: Bairrada

Bairrada produces wines with high acidity and tannins, often aged in oak barrels to soften the tannins and develop complex flavors. The region’s soil is predominantly clay and limestone, which helps to retain moisture and gives the wines a distinct minerality.
