Fílipa Páto 2023 Dinamico Baga (Bairrada)
Bairrada is a region rich in small holdings of old vines planted on limestone soils with excellent qualities. This new wine is the happy result of Filipa’s and William’s ceaseless search for good sources of grapes to supplement their own to meet the burgeoning demand for their wines. Entirely consistent with the familiar FP Baga, which it replaces in the range, you will find it to have the familiar aromatic flair, thoughtful balance and sheer deliciousness that have made Filipa the shining star that she is.

Notes from the Producer:
The grapes are handpicked from different vineyards in Bairrada. The vineyards are fully controlled by us.
Winemaker’s Notes:
Our “D.N.M.C.” philosophy is that Baga from different locations gives a more complex wine. Each location has its own expression of Baga. This for us is a real terroir-driven wine and a nice example of Baga with a fruity character and soft tannins. Every plot is vinified apart and at the end, we assemble all of them into one balanced unique “cuvée”, “Dinamica” - D.N.M.C
Colour:
It shows a deeper, brilliant cherry colour with a well-present viscosity.
Bouquet:
Distinguished elegant fruit-driven nose with a typical strawberry and damson plum touch, often with nuances of licorice, slightly spicy (black pepper, laurel, thyme, rosemary, …)
Taste:
On the palate, fruity with a nice beautiful structure and an almost velvety texture with a very fresh and inviting aftertaste.
Gastronomic Accompaniments:
A real crowd-pleaser, this wine combines excellently with a nice platter of charcuterie, a nice crunchy vegetable salad, grilled fish, grilled white meats and poultry and dry cheeses (Queijo Sao Jorge, Edam, Mimolette). Serve it at 14-16°C in elegant glassware and preferably aerated before serving. Baga tends to be slightly reductive when it has not been aged in oak…
