Raríssimo: The wines of the most awarded winemaker in Portugal, Osvaldo Amado

With 32 years of experience, the winemaker Osvaldo Amado says he cannot imagine working with anything else other than wines and it is for this passion that he is among the most recognized professionals in Portugal. With more than 1100 awards, he has already been elected “TOP Winemaker” in the “Wine Master Challenge” Competition, and awarded as “Winemaker of the Year” by Revista de Vinhos and “Winemaker of Merit” by Paixão Pelo Vinho magazine.

With such a vast curriculum, he still missed something to seal the passion and dedication to the wine’s world. It was when the winemaker decided to launch his personal project called “Raríssimo”, made of very special wines, with unique characteristics, coming from Bairrada and Dão, which convey the best of nature and with feelings of rare pleasure ready to drink now or in the years to come.

The bottles already draw attention due to all the elegance well thought in the smallest details, where they carry these precious liquids, that brings a range composed of limited editions of two white wines, a clarete, a red and a sparkling wine.

Among these 5 gems available in our store, we present an absolutely extraordinary red wine, the Raríssimo Dão Red 2001. A blend made of Touriga Nacional, Aragonêz, Alfrocheiro and Jaen grape varieties, that build a wine of dazzling complexity, only comparable to the best made in the world. A wine full of life, which fills the senses, revealing notes of dry vegetable, fine tobacco, cocoa and spices in total balance, due to the 24 months of aging in French oak barrels.

Leaving now for the Bairrada region, the Raríssimo Bairrada Brut Sparkling 2006, was made 100% with the Arinto grape variety and had an aging period of 13 years in a sur lie bottle and 12 months after the dégorgement. It is a sparkling wine with greenish tones and crystalline appearance, with very fine and persistent bubbles. In a high degree of delicacy, its aroma is full of complexity and intensity, where notes of biscuit, bread and sweet spices predominate. In the mouth, it has a crunchy mousse, excellent freshness, very elegant and with long persistence.  

As a true work of art born from nature, the Raríssimo wines are the reflection of a terroir along with Osvaldo Amado's own style, which arrive to surprise us with their originality and extravagance.
