O Produtor, tasting note published in May 15th 2022
Duckman wines express the true character of the indigenous Bairrada grape varieties and their exceptional maritime influence. There is no indication of the region on the labels, intentionally made to demonstrate an acute sense of place and varietal typicity through minimal intervention at the winery. Only indigenous grape varieties can be Bairrada wines, not imported ones that claim it as their identity. Luís and Maria work from two main vineyards, Amoreira da Gândara, which is composed mainly of sandy soils, and Óis do Bairro, which is composed mainly of clay-limestone soils.
From 40 year-old vines planted on 0.5ha of clayey-farinaceous (Baga) and sandy soils (Touriga Nacional), the grapes are harvested by hand, picked and destemmed before being macerated for three weeks. Spontaneous fermentation occurs for three weeks in plastic and stainless steel press without temperature control. Aged for six months in 600L barrels and cement. Unrefined and unfiltered.
Contains sulphites.

The original João Pato lived from 1920 to 1984 and was reborn in 2018 in the spirit of Duckman. The Duckman spirit is not easy to define, it is a mixture of heritage from our ancestors with an inter-generational spirit of looking at the world in general and wine in particular. Furthermore it has been defined as an ART-isanal Wine Project that aims to raise questions about the customs and trends associated with the world… and also that of wine.
Duckman wants to support artists from the region, in their most diverse areas, from photography, music, writing… in short, anything that can be considered art and to use its wines as a vehicle for bringing the art of the region to the farthest corners of the world… Duckman also does not forget its people, its neighbours and friends who help us to have a more meaningful life, producing manual brochures, sculptures in fabric, etc…
Duckman is all of us who embrace this spirit of building a better world together!
The wines presented here result from the exclusive use of grapes produced by us from native grape varieties (Bairrada region), from small editions and reveal unexpected sensations that arouse questions! We minimize the use of sulphur, the wines are not always filtered and the wines are vegan (we don’t use any product of animal origin during the entire production process).
