Located just 15 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean and 100 kilometers south of Porto, the village of Poutena in Portugal’s Bairrada region is home to the Vadio Project, a small organic winery run by Luis Patrão, his Brazilian girlfriend Eduarda, and his father Dinis. Their mission is the resurrection of the region’s traditional grape varieties – Bical, Cercial, and Baga – which have suffered a falling out of favor with the advent of international varietals in Portugal but are actually first-rate examples of the outstanding wine that can be produced in this region from local grapes. Luis is currently producing a crisp, saline sparkling, a textured white redolent of orange flower, and a precise, medium-bodied mineral red. Their first vintage was 2005.
