Imperfection is perfection
Vinhos Imperfeitos Carlos Raposo is born from a huge desire to create unique and high quality wines using the best that nature has to give and simply translating that in to the glass.
Carlos channelled his love for nature into the study of viticulture at the age of 16. After years of study in his native Portugal and the world famous regions of France, Spain, Australia and the US, he returned home and began working with the iconic Portuguese wine superstar Dirk Niepoort. He spent a few years as Dirks right hand man before venturing out to begin his own project in 2018 and thus Vinhos Imperfeitos was born!
Native to the Dao region there are few who know the full potential this unique terroir has to offer quite like Carlos. This wine is composed of grapes from different vineyards, almost all of them centenarians, planted in different soils, climates, altitudes. Composed of typical varieties of Dão, such as the Esgana cão, Rabo de ovelha, Encruzado, Malvasia fina, Douradinha, Barcelo, Branda, amongst others.
Initially laden with mineral aromas, quickly followed by smoke and maritime notes. In the mouth it is layered with stone fruit and instantly explosive, intense, with a lot of character and due to its balanced natural acidity, it shows a harmonious, fine and complex wine. Its end is endless, leaving a salty sensation allied to gunpowder notes. Oysters, sea urchins or truffles, are the perfect match for this perfectly imperfect wine.

New & Exciting
There are very few wine shops as good as Butlers, years of buying wines from them. There is always something new & exciting to pick out off the shelves and if you’re in any doubt the advice is considered and insightful.

Brilliant Butlers!
Words can't express the brilliance of Butlers or the thoughtfulness, expertise and compassion of their team! Whilst packing up to move internationally a friend died and I needed to organise an emergency case of something luscious to support the wake. Not only did their wonderful team organise and deliver within an incredibly tight deadline they drafted a message for me too which I approved. Wonderful!!

Delightful, delicious, delectable
As a lockdown convert, I'm an online customer, but the clear website, with interesting blogs and some comprehensive descriptions, really helps to steer you. Great advice when needed and great service too.

Sourcing Stock
Henry and Team managed to locate some difficult to find American wine which they kindly offered and I gratefully accepted. They truly differentiate by being able to surprise by sourcing stock very much outside the run of the mill.

Great Wine/Spirit shop with knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff
This was my second visit to Butlers Wine Cellar and on both occasions the service has been wonderful. The young lady assisted me and my wife on a number of purchases of wine and sherry and seemed very knowledgeable and made us feel welcome. Having tasted them she was spot on with her comments on each bottle. I would highly recommend anyone to use this shop.
