Filipa Pato & William Wouters Nossa Calcario Baga Beiras, Portugal 2021

Producer: Filipa Pato & William Wouter

Grape: Baga

Where: Beiras

Country: Portugal

Taste: Color: Bright intense dark cherry red colour with a ruby rim and great viscosity. Bouquet:The aromas are very pure dominated by violets, strawberries and subtle smokiness, a bit of spice when the wine is young. After 5 to 7 years, the aromas get more complex, extremely energetic and with good concentration. The wine is almost generous with an intense structure and richness in harmony with the fine and noble tannins. It is neither too rough nor too heavy, the body has an extremely silky texture and the acidity brings energy and liveliness. The aftertaste is a pure delight. 

Vibes with: A great wine for gastronomy! Simply cooked high-quality meats (lamb, beef, veal, pigeon, duck, pheasant, partridge, hare, fillet of deer). We imagine also sweetbread, veal kidney and even calves liver (Venetian way with glazy onions). Strong cheeses will give a good match too (Ami de Chambertin, buttery Niza, buttery Castelo Branco, Serpa).

Certified Biodynamic, Unfilter & Unfined

Additional Info: 

Filipa Pato and William Wouters are a magical wife and husband collaboration.

 
Their philosophy is simple: create authentic wines without makeup. They express the true nature of the vineyards from which they come. 
We focus on indigenous grapes only. Baga, Bical, Arinto, Cercial and Maria Gomes create soulful wines from vineyard sites with soils, microclimates, and other aspects, ideal for growing our exquisite wine grapes with biodynamanic viticultural practices. In the winery, we gently handle the grapes, with minimal intervention and strict monitoring of the wine, allowing our grapes to express themselves fully.
Ultimately we create "terroir" wines by uniting knowledge, art and nature to produce "without makeup", each wine with its own character.
