About Folias de Baco

About the Douro Valley

Famous for Port wine, the Douro Valley is now gaining recognition for a new generation of fresh, low-intervention wines. It’s a mountainous region with steep, schist-rich slopes and wild microclimates; perfect for expressive, terroir-driven wines. The old vines and native grape varieties here bring complexity, while the shift towards natural winemaking keeps things exciting and fresh.

How to Pair It

This is an easygoing, food-loving sparkler. Serve it with anything from fried snacks and fish tacos to charcuterie, grilled veg, or even a simple roast chicken. It’s also brilliant with dishes that play with spice or acidity; think ceviche, kimchi pancakes, or pad Thai. Or just chill it down and drink it on its own!

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Pét-Nat mean?

Pét-Nat stands for Pétillant Naturel, which is French for “naturally sparkling.” It’s an ancient method of making sparkling wine, where the wine is bottled before fermentation finishes, trapping natural bubbles inside. No added sugar or secondary fermentation, just wild, lively fizz with tons of character.

Why is Pet Nat so popular?

Pet Nat is having a moment because it’s fun, unfiltered, and a little unpredictable. Unlike traditional sparkling wines, it’s usually low-intervention, often made with native grapes, and comes in a range of styles, from bone-dry to juicy and aromatic. Plus, the labels are cool, the wines are playful, and they’re perfect for casual sipping.

What is Moscatel Galego?

Moscatel Galego is a Portuguese variety of Muscat, known for its intensely floral aromas and vibrant citrus flavours. It’s often used in fresh, aromatic whites or in skin-contact wines like Pet Nats, where it adds lift, perfume, and a bit of that signature muscat juiciness.

How to drink Pet Nat?

Chill it well (around 8–10°C) and open carefully: these bottles can be a bit lively! Some pet nats are slightly cloudy due to natural sediment; you can either swirl it gently or pour slowly if you want a clearer glass. Best served fresh and cold, they’re ideal for aperitifs, snacks, or just celebrating the everyday.

How to tell if wine is vegan?

Wine isn’t automatically vegan, some winemakers use animal products (like egg whites or fish-derived fining agents) during clarification. To know for sure, check the label, look for a vegan certification, or ask the producer or shop. Many natural wines are vegan by default, especially if they’re unfined and unfiltered, but it’s always good to double check.
