Vinhas Velhas

1991 Bairrada White Blend

Luis Pato Vinhas Velhas is a captivating white blend from the renowned Bairrada region, celebrated for its exceptional terroir. This vintage from 1991 showcases a beautiful pale yellow hue that glistens in the glass. The wine is elegantly structured with a medium body, supported by bright acidity that adds liveliness and freshness to each sip. Its fruit intensity is prominent, revealing delightful notes of stone fruits and citrus that dance on the palate. As this wine evolves, subtle hints of minerality and floral undercurrents emerge, making it a truly charming and complex expression. With a pleasingly dry profile, this handcrafted creation highlights the exquisite grape varieties and traditional winemaking techniques that have made Bairrada a revered winegrowing region.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
