What The Fellas Say

If you took an orchard of pear and apple trees and bottled it in an earthenware jug, and didn’t fuss too much, maybe threw in a lemon tree, a bushel of limes, a few large river rocks, then you might land somewhere in the vicinity of this puncy, peachy, fresh and juicy natural wine from the Duckman (aka. Maria Pato).

What The Sommelier Says

Cloudy pear-coloured pet nat wine. Notes of tree fruit, citrus, melon and mango, with hints of earth and barnyard. Lightly effervescent on the palette, with light sugar, medium acidity, and decent finish.

Pairs well with…

…a nice fatty fish dripping in lemon and melted butter, a plate of old gouda with some sourdough bread dipped in spicy olive oil, or just served up as an aperitif.

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.
