2025 Luis Pato, Bairrada Branco Vinhas Velhas

Luis Pato is a central figure in the Bairrada region, where his family has produced wine at the Quinta do Ribeirinho estate since at least the 18th century. This white wine is made from a blend of Bical, Cercial, and Sercialinho, sourced from old vines that average 40 years of age and thrive in a mix of chalky-clay and sandy soils. In the glass, it shows clear notes of citrus, pear, and a distinct mineral quality, balanced by a textured, mouth-watering acidity. The 2025 vintage maintains the producer's signature focus and freshness, ensuring the wine remains vibrant and expressive. It is ready to enjoy now but possesses the structural integrity to develop further in the cellar over the coming years.
