    maturation of the grapes left in the vine to harvest at the end of September to produce this Vinhas Velhas.
  • Theme:Baga is a Portuguese indigenous grape variety perfectly adapted to the  soils and clime of the Bairrada region. This wine merges the Bairrada red  wine character with my personal interpretation of different old vineyards of  Baga. A better knowledge of the evolution of this wine can be attained by tasting the older vintages starting in 1988, as one can understand the evolution of my winemaking, personality and creativity.

Luis Pato

Luis Pato is one of the most recognizable winemakers from Bairrada. He always believed in the region and made a great effort to promote it. Single vineyard, local grapes, and mono-varietal wines are his principles to better express Bairrada terroir.
