Filipa Pato - D.N.M.C. Baga 2023

Red wine.

Mineral, Elegant, Balsamic.

Baga is an elite grape. It is truly at home in the Bairrada region of central Portugal with the cool, humid winds that spill in from the coast and the grainy veins of limestone that mark the soil. This unique terroir, paired with this native grape that has evolved alongside it, results in wines that pulse with elegant, dancing acidities and stun with precise balsamic complexity. These features have brought drinkers of Baga to draw comparisons to Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir. Pretty damn special stuff indeed.

Filipa Pato and William Wouters know the full potential of their Baga and work extremely hard with intense dedication to their land to show it in the most dazzling of lights. 

DNMC, read as Dinâmica, is made with a careful blend of Baga grapes from a number of different vineyards scattered around the rolling hillsides and valleys near the town of Oís do Bairro. They believe this blend shows a more complex expression of Baga as each location has its own characteristic to contribute.

The wines from each vineyard are produced separately and are matured in steel. When the wines are ready, the separate vineyards are blended together to produce the DNMC expression for the year.

Gorgeous Baga that tastes amazing today but will also mature beautifully over the coming years!
