Details
The 3B here stand for Bical, Baga and Bairrada, which is the combination of grapes (the first two Bs) and region (Bairrada, Portugal's sparkling wine capital) that makes this wine great. It's a very pretty wine this, with a little flash of pink sherbetty fruit, strawberries and cream, and then a lovely sense of pink prettiness and a proper savoury style. What a lovely fizz this is!
Like a Portuguese dream team, Filipa Pato and William Wouters are a husband-and-wife wine-making duo, crafting a slew of unique wines. They've come from two rather interesting backgrounds, too - Filipa's father, Luis Pato, who helped put the region of Bairrada on the map. Although Filipa was born into wine, she actually studied chemical engineering at uni and came to wine later (via NZ and Bordeaux). William Wouters didn't come from a famous winemaking family, but was instead born into restaurants and was famously the chef for the Belgian national soccer team! Together, as Pato Wouters (or Pato & Wouters), this pair make interesting and proudly Portuguese reds. whites and sparkling with a motto of 'wines without makeup'. Crucially, they only use indigenous grapes like Baga, Bical, Arinto, Cercial and Maria Gomes, led by a thoughtful, minimal intervention approach and guided by their well-travelled palates.

Pairing guide
With it's simply beautiful pink colour and delicate sherbert and pink fruit edge, this lively and soft-textured sparkling wine really treads the line between softness and crispness with ease. It's a joy with salmon blinis, cured salmon and sashimi tuna, with the gentle pink fruit edge so welcome with anything that is savoury and fresh like a Vietnamese salad or a tofu-based stir fry (just go light on the spice).
