Fílipa Páto 2022 Post Quercus Baga
The magic that Fílipa wreaks on the recalcitrant Baga has to be tasted to be believed. Inspired by burgundy, she tames the beast and offers us a wine of breathtaking perfume and improbably silky texture. A wonderful juxtaposition to the more rugged style of her friend Mário Sérgio at Quinta das Bageiras. This was made in amphora, whose transpirational qualities are of huge benefit to the grapes. Just 11.5% alcohol! In 2022, the wine achieves familiar heights of plushness and expression, without sacrificing its preternatural elegance.
