Luis Pato

Luis Pato – the rebel of Bairrada. A pioneering winemaker who helped redefine Portuguese wine in the 1980s, Luis Pato is known for his fearless innovation and deep respect for native grape varieties – especially Baga. His wines are precise, structured, and age-worthy, yet full of personality. From clay and limestone soils, he crafts both traditional and experimental cuvées – always with energy, identity, and uncompromising character.
