Ideal White 2020 - Carlos Raposo Wines

Ideal Branco 2020 has a very fresh, delicate and mineral character. The aroma is austere with notes of stone and over time, in the glass, it shows complexity 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.

Suitable for consumption by vegans and vegetarians.

The grapes used in this wine come from the Senhorim sub-region, where the vines are between 30 and 60 years old. They are mostly single-varietal vines, i.e., varieties typical of the Dão region, such as Encruzado, Bical and Malvasia fina. These were fermented with their own natural indigenous yeasts.
