What The Fellas Say

The master, Luis Pato, might seem like the Godfather of innovation in Portuguese winemaking but this one is a homage to his dad, Sr. João Pato and is a finely tuned Portuguese classic: bright and in your face and earthy and drinkable.

What The Sommelier Says

João Pato Touriga Nacional is designed to be enjoyed young: fruity and intense, it is a red with a memorable palate.

Pairs well with…

…braised lamb shank or steak and kidney pie.

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.
