ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Filipa Pato and William Wouters is a magical wife and husband collaboration. Their philosophy is simple: create authentic wines without make-up and express the true nature of the vineyards from which they come. They focus on indigenous grapes only. Baga, Bical, Arinto, Cercial and Maria Gomes create soulful wines from vineyard sites with soils, microclimats and aspect ideal for growing their exquisite wine grapes with biodynamic viticultural practices.
