Between Porto and Lisbon is Bairrada. Due to the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean, this is one of the areas in Portugal with the most rainfall. In the lowlands the terrain is varied, consisting mainly of clay and lime. At this location, on 12 hectares scattered on plots throughout the area, using biodynamic agriculture and minimal intervention in the winery, Filipa Pato and her husband, Belgian sommelier and restaurateur William Wouters, produce “Vinhos Autênticos Sem Maquilagem”, translated as: Authentic Wines and without makeup. For us, they are clean, fresh and elegant, made of fruit with a soul, which have an authentic and complex taste and clear handwriting of the winemaker. These are some of the most impressive Portuguese wines. You should try the land-specific varieties Baga, Bical, Arinto, Cercial and Maria Gomes in the beautiful interpretation of Filipa Pato.
