Carlos Raposo Ideal White 2022

Product Info

The grapes used in this wine come from the Senhorim sub-region, where the vines are between 30 and 60 years old, and are mostly single-varietal vines, i.e., varieties typical of the Dão region, such as Encruzado, Bical, and Malvasia fina. Choosing the right day for the harvest is crucial to the type of wine we would like to make, and we only harvest grapes with great potential

Grape varieties: Encruzado, Bical, Cerceal and Malvasia fina

Region: Dão

Tasting Notes: It has a very fresh, delicate and mineral character. The aroma is austere with hints of stone and over time, in the glass, it becomes more complex with slight smoky, citrus and floral notes, reminiscent of orange blossom. The barrel is in perfect harmony with the fresh and mineral aroma. In the mouth it is slightly creamy, with a fantastic natural acidity that is very balanced, firm and persistent. Very rich but at the same time fresh and light, it shows a perfect fruit/acidity balance. Notes of white flowers and some dried fruits provide a mineral, salty, very long and enveloping finish
