Filipa Pato Bairrada Tinto Baga "Dinamica" 2019

Wife and husband team of Filipa Pato and William Wouters espouse a simple philosophy: create authentic wines that express the true nature of the vineyards from which they come. The duo focuses exclusively on Bairrada’s indigenous varieties from vineyard sites with soils, microclimates, and aspects ideal for their optimal cultivation. Reflecting a translucent plum ruby color, Pato’s Dinamica blossoms with deep aromas of black plums, blackberries, violets, and dried herbs. Wild, spicy, and bristling with energy, the Dinamica layers the palate with gentle mouth-dusting tannins infused in a core of wild blueberry, huckleberry, and tart cherry fruit. The wine finishes long and structured, with chewy tannins and riveting acidity readying the palate for another bite of grilled hanger steak, rustic bean stew, braised short ribs, and stuffed roasted eggplant or red bell peppers. Enjoy now and over the coming two years to capture the wine’s vibrant energy and food-friendly tannins.
