A Family Project Dedicated to Bairrada and Its Traditions.<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Located in the village of Poutena, in Bairrada, Vadio is a family project founded in 2005 by Lu\u00eds Patr\u00e3o and Eduarda Dias. Our focus is to recover traditional grape varieties and produce DOC Bairrada wines that respect the authenticity of the region.

Throughout the Vale D. Pedro, we cultivate thirteen vineyards totaling 10 hectares, carefully divided into 27 distinct plots. It is from this diversity that the essence of our wines is born: a classic style, faithful to the region\u2019s authenticity and to the genuine character of the grape varieties that bring them to life.\n

The winery is housed in an old warehouse in the center of the village\u2014a space that reflects the simplicity and respect for tradition that guide our work. Here, every detail is handled with care and patience, in an artisanal process where time is our greatest ally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A Family, a Project, a Passion<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Vadio is the project of the couple Lu\u00eds Patr\u00e3o and Eduarda Dias. A native of Bairrada, Lu\u00eds divides his time between Vadio and Tapada de Coelheiros, where he is the head winemaker. He previously worked for 13 years at Herdade do Espor\u00e3o. Eduarda is Brazilian from Pernambuco and the granddaughter of a Beir\u00e3o from Laf\u00f5es. She has lived in Portugal since 2007 and manages the daily operations of the small family business.\n\n

Lu\u00eds\u2019s father, Mr. Dinis Patr\u00e3o, leads the viticulture. In the past, he sold agricultural products to small farmers and today he is the biggest enthusiast of regenerative farming. He often says: \"A day without visiting the vineyard is not a good day.\"\n\n

The team also includes viticulture consultant Hugo Melo, Lu\u00eds\u2019s childhood friend, and Filipe Abreu and Cristina Ferreira, who skillfully manage the work in the vineyards and winery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

More Than a Grape.
\nAn Identity.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Baga is the predominant red grape variety in Bairrada. It is a vigorous variety, with small bunches and late ripening. In clay soils with good sun exposure, Baga can ripen well and produce delicately colored wines that can age in the bottle for many years. \n\n

We are deeply passionate about Baga and strongly believe in the potential of this unique variety. Its versatility is remarkable: it can produce very different styles, from sparkling wines with great acidity and delicate texture to reds that range from light to full-bodied and structured. <\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A Baga \u00e9 uma casta vers\u00e1til e com uma identidade muito forte \u2014 quando se prova um vinho de Baga, reconhece-se uma express\u00e3o aut\u00eantica e singular. \u00c9 por isso que acreditamos tanto no seu valor, considerando-a uma das grandes castas do mundo. Fazemos parte do grupo Baga Friends<\/strong><\/a>, uma associa\u00e7\u00e3o dedicada a celebrar e promover esta casta. Todos os anos, no primeiro s\u00e1bado de maio, comemoramos o Dia Internacional da Baga com portas abertas na nossa adega, proporcionando ao consumidor a oportunidade de nos visitar, conhecer o nosso trabalho e partilhar a paix\u00e3o pela Baga.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Since 2016, we have adopted a conscious sustainability policy that also extends to the weight of our bottles. All our still wine bottles now weigh just 360 grams \u2014 a significant reduction compared to what was previously standard. We recognise that today one of the greatest contributors to the wine industry\u2019s carbon footprint is glass, and we take this responsibility seriously.\n\n

Para os espumantes, utilizamos garrafas de 800 gramas, que atualmente s\u00e3o as mais leves dispon\u00edveis para a categoria. Este \u00e9 um tema que valorizamos profundamente e que tamb\u00e9m \u00e9 defendido por pessoas e organiza\u00e7\u00f5es que admiramos, como a cr\u00edtica Jancis Robinson<\/strong><\/a> e a The Wine Society<\/strong><\/a>, que \u00e9 nossa cliente e refer\u00eancia na \u00e1rea. Para n\u00f3s, falar sobre a leveza das garrafas \u00e9 essencial, porque faz parte do compromisso que temos com a sustentabilidade e a redu\u00e7\u00e3o da pegada ecol\u00f3gica do Vadio.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

All our still wine bottles now weigh just 360 grams \u2014 a significant reduction compared to what was previously standard. We recognise that today one of the greatest contributors to the wine industry\u2019s carbon footprint is glass, and we take this responsibility seriously.\n

For our sparkling wines, we use 800-gram bottles, which are currently the lightest available for this category. This is a subject we value deeply and one that is also championed by people and organisations we greatly admire, such as critic Jancis Robinson and The Wine Society, a valued client and benchmark in the sector. For us, speaking about bottle lightness is essential, as it is an integral part of Vadio\u2019s commitment to sustainability and to reducing its environmental footprint.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
