Carlos Raposo is a Portuguese winemaker and entrepreneur who launched the World Wild Wines project to craft terroir‑driven, imaginative wines from the Dão and other Portuguese regions, aiming to make precise, elegant wines that reflect place and variety. He discovered a connection to nature early, studied viticulture and enology as a teenager in Bairrada, then spent about seven years training and working in Bordeaux and Burgundy before returning to Portugal to build his professional career in winemaking. Raposo worked closely with Dirk Niepoort for many years and became a key figure at Niepoort’s projects, helping shape both Douro and Vinho Verde programs; he left Niepoort around 2018 to pursue his own labels while maintaining collaborative ties on some projects.
A region destined to produce great wine, an exceptional vintage and the talent of a passionate winemaker; the combination makes for an impressive red wine. As the first edition, Definido Red 2018 has a fine and elegant wine as a result of the
intention to create a fine wine with a typical extraction from the Dao region. The grapes composing this wine are from different Sub-Regions of Dão. The age of the vines ranges between 60 and more 100 years. Many of these grapes come from monovarietal vineyards, but also from vineyards with a wide mixture of grape varieties typical of the region, such as Tinta Pinheira, Tinta Carvalha, Baga, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Feminino, Tinta Roriz, Alfrocheiro, Jaen, among others.
