Luis Pato 3-Pack | Portuguese Natural Wine Bundle
Luis Pato has long been one of the most respected names in Portuguese wine, known for pushing Bairrada forward while staying deeply rooted in the region’s native grapes and traditions. This 3-pack brings together a fresh, energetic snapshot of his work, vibrant sparkling wine, textured old-vine whites, and bottles that show why Portugal continues to be one of the most exciting wine regions right now.
The bundle includes the bright and refreshing Maria Gomes Espumante NV, made with native Portuguese varieties and packed with crisp acidity, fine bubbles, and mineral-driven freshness. Alongside it is the Vinhas Velhas White 2024, a layered old-vine white blend fermented in stainless steel and aged on lees with partial malolactic fermentation in French oak, bringing texture, subtle creaminess, and vibrant acidity into balance.
These are the kinds of wines that overdeliver at the table, versatile, food-friendly, and easy to keep reaching for. Whether you’re already familiar with Portuguese wine or just starting to explore it, this bundle offers a strong introduction to one of the country’s benchmark producers.

About Natural Wine
Great question! There are a lot of definitions for natural wine with the main term you'll hear being that it has had minimal intervention. To be more specific, our definition is that the wine must first be sustainably farmed, which typically means it was organically or biodynamically farmed.
Then, in the cellar the natural winemaking process has some differences as well! The wine is typically unfined, unfiltered, and goes through spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. If you want to know more about what natural wine is, we have an entire guide under our reference section!
The short answer is that natural wine can taste like any other kind of conventional wine (we like to call these stealth natural wines) or it can taste quite a bit different, as production methods can vary and potentially be lighter, or in a style you've never had before (like orange, pet-nat or amphora).
The natural wine community is also more accepting of some qualities in wines that conventional would consider a flaw, like Brett, some oxidation, or volatile acidity. We would consider these in high amounts to also be a flaw, but in many cases a touch of these qualities can ultimately improve their flavor and texture and be happily accepted in a natural wine.
