Joao Pato Duckman Bairrada Espumante Rosa
Region: Portugal
Dry Roses
The Duckman wines express the true character of Bairrada’s indigenous varietals and its exceptional maritime influence. There are no indications of the region on the labels, done intentionally to demonstrate an acute sense of place and varietal typicity through minimal intervention in the cellar.
From 25 year old vines planted to several plots of chalky-clay soils, within two sites called São Lourenço and Óis do Bairro. The grapes are vineyard sorted with hand-harvesting at the end of August. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, lasts for three weeks and is vinified using the traditional method. A liquor de tirage of 1.6gr plus sweet wine is added. The wine is aged for six years on the lees in bottle and is given a dosage of 1.6gr/L at disgorgement. Not fined or filtered.
*Natural and Organic
Staff Review: A lovely rosy peach color, fruity aromas, with a hint of raspberry, lime, with a pink grapefruit finish. Made with 100% baga grapes, and practices organic farming.
