Tasting Notes

Beautiful ruby colour, with good concentration. The aroma is young, rich and complex with notes of black pepper combined with red and wild fruits, where raspberry and cherry stand out. The wood is well matched with some smoked notes. It also shows mineral aromas of wet stone. In the mouth it has claw and nerve, it is complex and has a good structure. Very well integrated tannins, with good acidity.

The Producer

Carlos Raposo has now returned to his home region of Dao to craft his own, very special wines. Taking everything he has learnt from the top producers he has worked with in Bordeaux, Burgundy, Napa, Heathcote, Ribera Del Duero, and of course the Douro, he is now applying everything to the old-vine treasures he has returned to. More recently, Carlos has released wines under the World WIld Wines brand. These are home-grown wines, from the Heartland of the Dao region, close to Carlos’ home of Nelas. All are made from old, fieldblend vineyards, and hand-crafted into elegant, precise wines.
