The Pato family has been producing wine at Quinta do Ribeirinho since, at least, the eighteen century.
João Pato started to bottle the wine from his vineyards in 1970, becoming the first winegrower in Bairrada region after its demarcation.
His son Luis Pato inherited this nonconformist and pioneer spirit and in 1980 produces his first wine, a pure Baga from an exceptional quality and absolute rareness that is sought by appreciators as a treasure.
The 60 hectares of vineyards are planted with Baga, Touriga Nacional and Tinto Cão in the Red varieties, and Maria Gomes, Bical, Cercial da Bairrada e Sercialinho in the White varieties.
