What The Fellas Say

Look up value for money in the dictionary and it says “Luis Pato”. The guy just knows how to bottle it. This is one of the best, most-drinkable table whites you’ll find. It’s a fruit orchard wrapped in a lemon slice and filtered through decades of good living.

What The Sommelier Says

Deep citrus aroma with hints of green apple, peach and honeydew melon. Green apple again in the mouth with a touch of tropicals and lime. A quick and easy mineral finish.

Pairs well with…

…a fresh grilled sea bream à bulhão pato, clams in a rich garlicy broth or a big outdoor garden party.

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.
