Luis Pato

The Pato family has been producing wine at Quinta do Ribeirinho since at least the 18th century. João Pato began bottling wine from his vineyards in 1970, becoming the first producer/bottler in the Bairrada region after its demarcation. His son Luís Pato inherited his nonconformist and pioneering spirit, and in 1980 produced his first wine, a single-varietal Baga of exceptional quality and absolute rarity, which is today sought after by connoisseurs as a treasure.
