O Produtor, tasting note published in May 14th 2022
Brilliant straw yellow colour with greenish edge, good viscosity. On the nose it has
pear aromas (typical of the Bical grape) with some hints of iodine and a certain spiciness (thyme and rosemary). In the mouth it is refined, creamy, relatively soft and with a lot of minerality, a kind of salinity due to the typical Atlantic climate. On the palate it is fruity and the aftertaste is dry and refreshing, with a persistent acidity.
Bical is harvested in early September, Arinto on the other hand matures later and is and is harvested 2 – 3 weeks later. Vinification takes place separately. The wine ferments on its lees without batonnage. The wines naturally stabilise during the cold winter. The final blending is done in early spring, when the wine is stable and ready for bottling.
Contains sulphites.

Filipa Pato and William Wouters is a magical wife and husband collaboration. The philosophy is simple: create authentic wines without make-up, they express the true nature of the vineyards from which they come. We focus on indigenous grapes only. Baga, Bical, Arinto, Cercial and Maria Gomes create soulful wines from vineyard sites with soils, microclimats and aspect ideal for growing our exquisite wine grapes with biodymanic viticultural practices. In the winery we gently handle the grapes, minimal intervention and strict monitoring of the wine allow our grapes to express themselves fully. Ultimately we create “terroir” wines by uniting knowledge, art and nature to produce “withoutmake-up”, each wine with its own character. Filipa Pato – winegrower in Bairrada. A graduate of the University of Coimbra as a Chemical engineer refined her Winemaker skills doing harvests in Bordeaux, France – Mendoza, Argentina and Margaret River, Australia and with her father Luis Pato, the Baga rebel. William Wouters – chef/sommelier/restaurateur. William comes from a restaurateur family from Antwerp, Belgium. He is a sommelier champion, restaurateur and former head chef of the Belgian national Soccer team on the World cup in Brazil and the European cup in France. Together Filipa & William share all their experiences: the love for food and wine, encounters with great wine growers, sommeliers and wine lovers from all over the world and the magical, inexhaustible culture of the World of wine. Today for Filipa & William, Ois do Bairro is the center of their wine universe. They will be happy to share all their passion of food and wine. Drink local, eat local and … think global.
