Enthusiast White / White
Wine 1: 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.
Wine 2: Aventura Blanco
White Alentejo Regional Wine
After fifteen years working as a winemaker I decided to embrace the ADVENTURE to become a wine producer. A fascinating ADVENTURE and challenge that I intend to live as pleasurably as possible. I just hope you’ll have as much fun as I did making them. - Susana Balboa
Straw yellow color. Soft but fragrant, it stands out for its hints of lavender, stubble and peach, as well as a deep sensation of minerality. Fullbodied but very fresh, stocky and deep. Finishes with a mineral, dry and tense sensation.
