The first sip transported us to a summer garden party: Marlowe heard croquet mallets; Fernando heard samba. We both tasted fruity, fizzy heaven – like a grapefruit mimosa.
What The Sommelier Says
A sparkling wine with an extremely vibrant acidity and low acohol, and a typical Baga nose of fresh strawberry. Truly a classic, authentic ChamPato!
Pairs well with…
…itself or with light summer party small bites. It’s natural and un-filtered so only open for the adventurous.

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.

Region: Bairrada
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.
