Carlos Raposo Defined Red 2021, 75cl
The grapes that make up this wine are also from different sub-regions of Dão, where the vines are between 100 and 120 years old.
The vast majority of these grapes come from old vines with a vast mixture of varieties typical of the region, such as Tinta Pinheira, Tinta Carvalha, Baga, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Fêmea, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro, Jaen, among others.
The grapes were harvested by hand and during the harvest an initial selection of the fruit took place in the field, only grapes suitable according to demanding quality criteria were harvested.
These were delicately transported in 15 kg boxes and at the entrance to the winery, the second sorting of the grapes was carried out.
Only the bunches that really proved to be perfect were sent by gravity to the old cement vats (1962) where alcoholic fermentation occurred naturally and without any addition of chemical products and/or yeast.
After being cleaned, it remained in the same cement vat, where malolactic fermentation took place. 22 months later, each vat was selected for the Definido Tinto batch.
The perfect glass to serve it in will be in “Burgundy” style glasses.
3000 0.75L bottles were produced.
