Branco 2023 - Domínio do Açor

This wine is made from the indigenous Encruzado grape variety (30% from the Inha Romana individual vineyard and 26% from the Vinha Ruina single vineyard), the vines are 20 to 35 years old. Granite floors, as you know them from the best locations in Dão. Intense lemon color. Complex on the nose with fruit, citrus fruits, herbs, roasted nuts and a very subtle and sophisticated oak wood tone. Firm and spicy in the mouth, with nice structure, freshness and minerality. The medium flavor shows a roundness that makes the wine very appealing and accessible. Persistent and complex aftertaste. The Encruzado was aged in new oak barrels and concrete eggs. The Malvasia Fina and the Cerceal-Branco were aged in stainless steel tanks.
