is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
From the passionate winemaker Carlos Raposo, Definido Vinhas Velhas Branco 2020 is a beautifully crafted expression of old-vine Portuguese white grapes. Sourced from carefully tended, ancient vineyards, this wine offers an authentic and vibrant portrait of the Vinhas Velhas terroir.
The wine opens with a fresh burst of citrus—lemon, lime, and green apple—intertwined with delicate floral notes and a touch of ripe peach. As the wine breathes, a subtle honeyed nuance and a faint herbaceous quality start to emerge, adding complexity. On the palate, Definido is both lively and textured, with bright acidity that lifts the fruit and provides balance. The subtle minerality from the old vines offers structure, giving the wine a smooth yet refreshing finish. The wine's harmonious blend of fruit and texture continues to evolve, leaving a crisp, mineral-driven impression that lingers.
Definido Vinhas Velhas Branco pairs wonderfully with fresh seafood, grilled vegetables, or mild cheeses. Already delightful, it has the structure to age gracefully, offering even more complexity as time goes on. This wine is a remarkable showcase of Carlos Raposo’s dedication to the land and his ability to craft wines that highlight the true potential of Vinhas Velhas in every bottle.
