In fact the wines coming from this valley were the first whites to be exported to the ex-colonies (Brazil, Angola, ...)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBouquet:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery mineral nose with a certain smokiness due to the limestone soil. It has a distinguished fruity touch of pears (typical Bical) and slightly nutty character (hazelnut, almonds, pines). After some time in the glass it even reveals thyme and honey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mouth is refined, creamy, relatively smooth and has present minerality, a kind of saltiness due to typical Atlantic climate. The wine is very broad in the mouth with an almost crunchy, nutty texture. The finish is voluptuous with very precise notes of preserved and ripe fruit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction, Vinification technics:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes are handpicked from one vineyard in Óis do Bairro. Long pressing of full bunches. The juice is free runned into the casks. Fermentation with wild yeast in an old traditional cellar with a naturally constant temperature under 20°. No batonnage is done to keep the freshness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin and classification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBairrada DOC from Portugal. In fact, this wine comes from one vineyard in Óis do Bairro and we dream of having our DOC one day...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrillant intense yellow straw colour with greenish rim, good viscosity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\/Climate etc.:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChalky clay midslopes from the Jurassic Inferior with eastern orientation to the sun and a very intense Atlantic influence (we are only 15 km from the ocean). The vines are average 40 years old\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGastronomic Accompaniments:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"a-real-foodwine-which-will-accompany-a-wide-range-of-dishes-just-think-about-noble-fish-seabass-turbot-brill-dover-sole-lobster-king-crab-all-prepared-as-natural-as-possible-steamed-poached-grilled-braised-sweetbread-poached-poultry-and-veal-and-pork-fillet-will-do-the-job-a-nice-creamy-cheese-brie-camembert-serra-da-estrela-can-be-a-nice-option-too-\"\u003eA real foodwine which will accompany a wide range of dishes.

A nice creamy cheese (Brie, Camembert, Serra da Estrela) can be a nice option too.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilipa Pato and William Wouters is a magical wife and husband collaboration.\u003cbr\u003eOur philosophy is simple: create authentic wines without make-up, they express the true nature of the vineyards from which they come.\u003cbr\u003eWe 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.\u003cbr\u003eUltimately we create \"terroir\" wines by uniting knowledge, art and nature to produce \"withoutmake-up\", each wine with its own character.\u003cbr\u003eFilipa Pato - winegrower in Bairrada.
