Filipa Pato & William Wouters

Filipa Pato and William Wouters’ project in Bairrada is an ode to authentic winemaking, creating minimal intervention wines of artifice-free purity.

● Driven by the philosophy of 'authentic wines, without makeup,' the Portuguese winemaker and the Belgian sommelier revolutionized Bairrada viticulture. The focus is on biodynamic respect for indigenous grapes, such as Baga and Bical. The winery works with gentle extractions and amphorae, resulting in wines excelling in unmistakable freshness, polished tannins, and crystalline acidity. From entry-level references to sophisticated 3B sparkling wines and single-parcel reds, the producer offers creations of a rebellious soul, technical precision, and strong gastronomic vocation.
