This naturally effervescent Pet‑Nat from João Pato’s Duckman project captures the spirit of Bairrada in a bottle, its hazy golden hue hinting at five days' skin contact of Maria Gomes before wild fermentation continues in the bottle. The wine delivers playful yet refined energy with citrus and tropical fruit notes balanced by fine chalky salinity.
