Filipa Pato 3B Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature shows a pale straw colour with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is fresh and mineral, with notes of crisp pear, green apple and a touch of fennel, supported by hints of thyme and soft honey. On the palate it is refined and lively, with bright acidity and a subtle creamy texture that brings balance to the fruit. Flavours of citrus and white fruit are underpinned by a clean mineral backbone, leading to a dry, crisp finish with a delicate saline note that lingers pleasantly.
Description
Filipa Pato is a producer originally from the Barraida region, an area that is located a few kilometers away from the Atlantic Ocean, which positively influences its climate, making it particularly suited to quality viticulture. Filipa is a child of art; her father Luis is considered one of the key figures in Portuguese viticulture, the one who first believed all the way in the excellence of Barraida's productions, investing everything in quality and local grape varieties. Following in her father's footsteps, Filipa opened her own winery in 2001 and from the beginning her philosophy has been to work only with native grapes (Baga, Bical, Maria Gomes, Sercial..) in search of Barraida's most vocated vineyards. In 2010 Filipa's husband William, a well-known Belgian sommelier and restaurateur, also joined the project. Filipa's wines have an Atlantic finesse rare to be found in the area, you will find tradition and a fresh and current vision, gastronomic but without commitment, in one of the most vocated territories of Portugal.
