Luis Pato Unipessoal Lda

The Pato family (translated from Portuguese – "duck") produced wines on the farm Quinta do Riberinho, at least since the 18th century. Joao Pato (father of Louis) began to bottle the wines produced from his vines since 1970, thereby becoming the first viticulturist in the region of Bairrada after being awarded the status of DOC Bairrada. Son Joao, Luis, very violent in nature and experimenter by nature took over the ownership of the farm from his father in 1980 and produced his first wine from the Baga variety, which is still considered by many to be one of the best examples of red wine in the region. In 1985, Louis makes two innovations: completely separates the ridges of the variety Baga and begins to withstand the wine in the new French barriques. In 1988, Luis plants seedlings of the Baga variety without American rootstocks to understand the style of pre-phylloxer wines and recently he produces the so-called "Vinhas Velhas" from this site. In 1990, he first took part in the international Wine Challenge as a jury, in order to train your taste and understand what styles of wines can appeal to the ever-changing taste of consumers. In 2001, Luis for the first time begins to engage in "double collection", collecting part of the grapes in August for the production of sparkling wine and part of the grapes in late September for the production of concentrated red wine with great potential. In 2005, Luis uses the technique of cryo-extraction, and in 2008 releases to the market sparkling wine from a separate vineyard-sparkling Vinha Formal from the varieties Bical and Turiga Nacional. In 2009, wines with a natural level of sweetness, which he calls Abafado Molecular, enter the market. 60ga vinohardnik, planted with varieties such as Baga, Tinta Cao, Turiga Nacional, and white varieties such as Fernao Pires, Bical, Cercial and Cercialinho.
