Luis Pato Vinhas Velhas - White 2023 750ml

Description

Vinhas Velhas Branco comes from old Bairrada vines and blends indigenous white varieties including Bical, Cercial and Sercialinho. The fruit comes from contrasting limestone and sandy sites, creating a wine that combines concentration with the bright acidity associated with Bairrada’s Atlantic climate. Fermentation and maturation avoid overt oak influence, allowing the fruit and old-vine texture to take centre stage. The 2023 shows white and stone fruit, pear, citrus and saline notes, supported by sharp acidity and a creamy, firm texture from fine-lees contact. Its vibrant, persistent finish makes it an excellent match for oysters, grilled fish, shellfish and creamy seafood dishes.

Luis Pato Maria Gomes 2023 750ml

2023 - Portugal - Portugal - White - 750ml - 75 ILS

Maria Gomes is the Bairrada name for Fernão Pires, one of Portugal’s most aromatic native white grapes. Luís Pato uses fruit from Bairrada and vinifies it directly off the skins in stainless steel, preserving the variety’s fragrance and producing an accessible expression without overt oak influence. The wine is bright and aromatic, with white flowers, citrus, ripe pear and subtle tropical-fruit notes. Its fresh acidity and clean, dry finish balance the variety’s naturally generous perfume. It works well as an aperitif and alongside salads, grilled sardines, shellfish, mild cheeses and lightly spiced Asian dishes.

Luis Pato Espumante Baga 2023 750ml

2023 - Portugal - Portugal Espumante - 750ml - 85 ILS

This traditional-method sparkling wine highlights Baga, Bairrada’s emblematic red grape. Luís Pato pioneered a more precise and elegant interpretation of the variety, using the region’s Atlantic climate and limestone-rich soils to preserve acidity and give the wine its characteristically taut structure. Expect a dry, energetic sparkling wine with fine red-fruit notes, citrus freshness and a distinctly mineral finish. Baga’s natural acidity gives the wine tension and ageing potential, while bottle fermentation and time on the lees add texture and subtle pastry complexity. Serve as an aperitif or with cured meats, fried fish and rich seafood dishes.

Luis Pato Espumante Vinha Pan 2023 750ml

2023 - Portugal - Portugal Espumante - 750ml - 136 ILS

Vinha Pan is one of Luís Pato’s important single vineyards, associated with clay-limestone soils and the Baga grape. The sparkling expression applies Pato’s experience with hyperoxygenation and lees ageing to produce a serious, gastronomic espumante with comparatively little reliance on added sulphur. The wine combines Baga’s firm acidity with red apple, wild strawberry, citrus peel and savoury mineral notes. Extended bottle ageing should contribute a fine mousse, creamy texture and touches of brioche, while the finish remains dry and incisive. It is particularly suited to roast poultry, charcuterie, hard cheeses and substantial fish dishes.
