Description
Filipa Pato and William Wouters are a husband-and-wife winemaking duo from Bairrada, Portugal, known for their “authentic wines, without make-up”. Their philosophy centers on using indigenous grapes, biodynamic viticultural practices, and minimal intervention to create wines that express the unique terroir of their vineyards.
A blend of Maria Gomes, Bical and Cercial; sourced from chalky clay slopes with direct Atlantic influence. The grapes are harvested by hand and gently pressed. The second fermentation takes place in bottle and ages 9 months on the lees. No dosage.
Farming Practice: Certified Biodynamic.
The grapes are harvested by hand and pressed very gently. After fermentation in tank with wild yeast, we make a second fermentation in bottle – classical method. Origin and classification: Vinho de Mesa, white sparkling wine extra brut from Óis do Bairro, Portugal. A very old region of glowing valleys, since centuries known for the production of wines of excellent quality of Cercial, Bical and Maria Gomes. The rural scenery is dominated by the Caramulo mountain.
Soil/Climate, etc.: Chalky clay mid slopes from the Jurassic Inferior with eastern orientation to the sun and a very intense Atlantic influence.
Winemaker’s Notes: The grapes for the sparkling wines are harvested from different locations. The harvest starts already in August to maintain the fresh and fruity character of the grapes. This way we always have the natural acidity which we love. The first fermentation starts with the natural yeast of the grapes. There is no dosage done, so the wine remains dry.

Filipa Pato & William Wouters Baga Bairrada 3B Rosé Brut Nature – 93 / 100 Points
A fun, juicy wine from a blend of baga and bical, local red and white grapes, with aromas of raspberries, tiny red and white strawberries and watermelon. The palate has a cool, fresh salinity and rich bubbles with a hint of yeast. Medium body. Drink now.
