Filipa Pato and William Wouters are a husband-and-wife winemaking duo from Bairrada, Portugal, known for their "authentic wines, without make-up". Their philosophy centers on using indigenous grapes, biodynamic viticultural practices, and minimal intervention to create wines that express the unique terroir of their vineyards.
100% Bical - The grapes are handpicked from one vineyard in Ois do Bairro (Filipa's hometown). Chalky clay mid-slopes with eastern orientation to the sun and a very intense Atlantic influence (only 15 km from the ocean). The vines are average 40 years old. The valley of Ois do Bairro has been known for centuries for the quality of its white wines. In fact the wines coming from this valley were the first whites to be exported to the ex-colonies (Brazil, Angola, etc.). The grapes are handpicked from one vineyard in Ois do Bairro. Long pressing of full bunches. The juice is free-run to the casks. Fermentation with the wild yeast in an old traditional cellar with a natural constant temperature under 20°. Matured for 8 months in 500-600L casks, then for two months in bottle prior to release. No batonnage is done to maintain freshness. Farming Practice: Certified Biodynamic / Soil: Clay and Limestone.
"Nossa!” Its name is spontaneously evocative . "Calcário” means "chalk" in Portuguese, which refers to the calcareous soil found in these vineyards. Located at the very heart of Bairrada, Óis do Bairro is one of Bairrada’s flagship villages and among its most celebrated. The Bical from Óis do Bairro has been known for centuries for its exceptional quality. It was one of the first white wines of Portugal to be exported to the ex-colonies. Working with biodynamic practices and being inspired by the viticulture of Filipa's grandmother helped to understand the notion of "un terroir unique” for Bical. Serve it cool but not too cold (8-10 °C) in fine glassware.
