- Description
- Carlos Raposo's 2021 field blend from Dão combines traditional cement vessel aging with oak maturation, capturing both freshness and structure. The nose opens with greengage and melon before sage and barley sugar notes emerge, while the palate shows green tea, olives, and melon with lifted minerality and saline grip on the finish. The wine is bone-dry with excellent acidity, offering complexity beyond its humble field-blend origins. Excellent with whitebait, oysters, or simply on its own as a meditation on terroir.
