Defio & Carlos Raposo Vinhas Velhas White

Defio & Carlos Raposo Vinhas Velhas White is the fruit of the friendship between Sara Matos, Ana Sofia Olivera and Carlos Raposo, with the collaboration of WiseShape and Burel Factory. That's why we called it Defio, which means ‘challenge’ in Esperanto. A wine from old vines in the Dão, delicate, floral and saline, as well as vibrant acidity and concentrated fruit.
