Wine 1: Boina Tinto Red Wine
This beautiful red blend explores the complexity and richness of Portuguese wine in a single bottling. Grapes from old vines, with ages superior to 60 years. Part of them located at areas of transition schist / granite at an altitude of 500m with predominant exposure to the North. Others in typical Douro areas with schist soils located in Baixo Corgo and Cima Corgo, at an altitude of 250m with a predominant South / West exposure.
Grape Varieties: Blend of Touriga Franca, Tinta Amarela, Tinta Carvalha, Tinta Francisca and Souzão dominate.
Captivating aroma, notorious nuances of strawberry and wild red fruits where the freshness of the fruit seduces. On the palate, balance prevails, combining the fruit with a vibrant acidity and silky tannin. Complex and pleasant finish.
Wine 2: Carlos Raposa Branco
Carlos Raposo began actively studying and making wine professionally when he was 15, when his parents shipped the rebellious teenager off to winemaking school. Something clicked immediately and Carlos knew he had discovered his life’s work. Applying his substantial intellect to wine instead of mischief, he excelled. He soon found himself in France, earning an additional two degrees, one in winemaking in Bordeaux, and another in vineyard management in Burgundy. This was followed by stints at wineries including Chateau Smith Haut Lafitte and Robert Craig Winery in Napa.
In 2020 Carlos founded World Wild Wines, a name representative of both his global perspective and his mission to put his home, the Dão, on the map as one of the world’s great wine regions. The project is based on the best old vineyards he can find from around the Dão, farmed with organic and biodynamic methods, and vinified in the most delicate way possible, emphasizing transparency and elegance over anything else. Carlos was tragically taken from the world in 2026. but Carlos Raposos Vinhos lives on, honoring the commitment that Carlos had to a new type of winemaking in Dao. Impecável Branco is a Fresh and lively white wine with notes of pear fruit and a grainy texture.
