Description
In a nutshell:
A delicious smoky, minerally and rich Portuguese white from the northern Dão region.
The lowdown:
Quinta dos Roques can fairly take the credit for raising the profile of Encruzado, a traditional variety of the Dão region which had dropped right out of favour. They pioneered making it as a single varietal and have come up with a real winner. Half of the must was fermented and aged for 7 months in French oak and the other half in stainless steel. The resulting wine has got rich stone fruit aromas together with a touch of florality while the palate displays a good mineral freshness along with rounded apricot ripeness and a creamy hint from the time spent in barrel. It's a super example of what this variety is capable of and is regularly rated among Portugal's best whites.
When to drink:
Its a brilliant food wine, along the lines of a good burgundy and so suits things like poultry and feathered game superbly.
