Producer: Carlos Raposo

Description:

Carlos Raposo spread his wings after college and went on apprenticeships in Bordeaux and Burgundy, among other places. He then spent 7 years as winemaker at Niepoort, where we got to know him.
In 2018, he returned to his home region of Dão with ambitious plans to make wines of the highest level.

The grapes selected for this wine are from the Senhorim sub-region, where the age of the vines ranges between 30 and 60 years and are from mostly monovarietal vineyards.  Typical grape varieties from the Dão region are composing this wine, such as Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro and Jaen.

Tasting Note:
 On the nose, it offers an enticing bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, intertwined with subtle hints of wild berries and black pepper. The palate is well-structured, showcasing a harmonious balance between its bright acidity and smooth tannins. Layers of dark chocolate, earthy undertones, and a touch of spice to add depth
