2019 Luis Pato Vinha Formal Espumante, Beiras, Portugal
$36.00
From Bairrada pioneer Luis Pato, Vinha Formal is a single-vine Blanc de Blancs from chalk-laden vineyards planted to Maria Gomes (Fernão Pires). Traditional-method with extended lees aging, it leans into Pato’s signature precision: bright orchard-fruit aromatics, subtle herbal lift, and a driving mineral line.
