    Encruzado produces ripe yellow-fruit and spice flavored wines of great quality. This is a soft, generous example, warm in its round texture and rich in apricot and toast flavors. It should be aged another few months and enjoyed from 2016.

    Made from Dão's signature Encruzado grape, this has ripe almonds, yellow fruit and a seductive perfumed character. It's a rounded wine, the acidity well integrated into the ripe character. Drink now, but could age a year.

    Encruzado is the Dão's star white grape, able to produce, as here, a wine that combines a great sense of style, some weight, along with the freshest of lemon tints. There is some fullness as well, while the final taste is crisp.
