"The current release of Filipa Patoâs non-vintage Beiras â3Bâ Extra Bruto RosĂ© is composed of a blend of seventy-one percent Baga and twenty-nine percent Bical- two indigenous grape varieties in Bairrada that Filipa farms biodynamically. The vins clairs are fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and the wine is aged nine months sur latte prior to disgorgement. The wine is finished non-dosĂ©. The color is a nice, deep salmon and the bouquet wafts from the glass in a lovely blend of blood orange, rhubarb, cherry skin, a lovely base of soil tones, a touch of brown spices and a topnote of gentle smokiness. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with a fine core, good soil signature and grip, extremely elegant mousse and a long, complex and vibrant finish. This is really, really good! I am extremely impressed with the refinement of the bubbles, given that it only spends nine months aging on its fine lies!"

Best known for fortified Port from the Douro Valley, Portugal also produces distinctive dry reds from native grapes such as Touriga Nacional. Its dramatic terraced vineyards and blending traditions give the wines a singular identity.
