Filipa Pato and husband, William Wouters have created an expressive range of wines representing the native grape varietals of the Barriada region. Their philosophy is simple: "create authentic wines without make-up to express the true nature of the vineyards they come from".
Bairrada is a coastal DOC which borders Dão and Lisboa. It has mild and wet winters and hot windy summers. The climatic thermal range, brought about by the Atlantic influence, brings high acidity and freshness to the grapes here.
A blend of native varietals: Bical, Cercial and Maria Gomes. The wine spends 9 months in bottle before release. Apples and soft ripe citrus fruit and delicate orange blossom. A clean and crisp wine with rounded honeyed notes as the wine develops in the glass.
Drink with a Bairrada classic of suckling pig and sauteed potatoes.
