100% Bical, fermented and aged in stainless steel. This is a decidedly different expression of Bical from Vinha Formal, one of Luis Pato's flagship aged whites. It's bright and waxy, with flavors of white fruit (pear, lychee), citrus zest, white flowers and crushed stones. Bical's aromatics are restrained and sleek, lending just a hint of florality reminiscent of white peaches. A gentle 11% abv, though fully dry. This would be an excellent pairing for white meats, cheese, or anything fried.

More about Joao Pato (Duckman)

Maria Pato created the playful Duckman project (pato means duck in Portuguese) in Portugal's Bairrada region, inheriting her father Luis's legacy as a Baga advocate. She works two vineyards within twenty kilometers of the Atlantic coast, farming sustainably and making wines that feel rebellious and rooted in equal measure.

Tasting Profile

Pet-Nat with stone fruit, citrus, and subtle herbal notes. Playful carbonation with white peach, grapefruit, and mineral salinity. Refreshing, off-dry finish.
