Made from the Encruzado grape and a bit of Malvasia, where Encruzado is an indigenous white wine grape native to the Dão, Portugal. The wine offers tropical fruits and round richness. — 7 days ago

Floral (almost jasmine) notes on the nose. Tasting lychee, bergamot, and white peach, with an underlying herbaceous quality. Love it! Purchased from Clos. — a year ago

Keep an eye out for this one in a couple weeks, this was a gorgeous little wine and a huge value! It will make you question why you would buy any other red for under $20! — 2 years ago

Nice refreshing bouquet of lemon zest and lime pith and fresh white peach with some minerally notes of pebbles and saline, and light oaky notes of cedar and pine. On the palate lemon, peach, and golden plum with notes of saline and hints of tangy white pepper with a subtle creaminess to the finish when it’s warmed up a bit. Very nice value from Portugal — 3 years ago

Wet rocks and some herbal/floral aromas that also come through on the palate with almonds and some salinity. Some citrus acidity but it's toned down from when we first had the wine. Bought at the L'Etoile Iberian Wine Dinner 8/4/22, don't know how it got lost on the shelf for 3 years! — 9 months ago

Muted nose with some white flowers, light honey, fresh & quite cool.
On the palate with some weight (Encruzado influence?), a touch creamy, with some underripe white peach, white tea, a hint of bitter almond with a salty tang towards the mineral finish.
Not overly complex or too sophisticated,
but drinking nicely. — 5 years ago

8.9

A very nice Encruzado blending the fruity (salty pears, reine claude plums, green melon) with a cool mineral core. Nicely balanced with zippy acidity, medium body, a touch of creaminess on the palate and very nice, long finish.
Moreish & very drinkable. — 6 months ago

9.3

A blend of 100y+ old Encruzado, Bical and Sercial, fermented & aged 11m in French oak.
Very Burgundian on the nose with yellow stone fruit, subtle oak, very elegant, very enticing.
medium bodied on the palate, with brilliant tension between the oaked fruit and the juicy, zippy acidity. Beautiful precision here, with depth & length. Very elegant, very Burgundian indeed.
A truly lovely and quite serious wine. Delish! — a year ago

Delicious. Throw this is as a ringer among a bunch of top-flight Maconnais wines (e.g., Vire-Clesse, Pouilly-Fuisse) and it would fit right in. Nose has beautifully pure scents of crisp yellow orchard fruit and meadow flowers, as well as a clean stony note. In the mouth, it’s got deep fruit with almost a Semillon-like lanolin note, as well as deep minerality. Very full body with a bit of alcohol peeking through in the finish (it’s 13.5%, which doesn’t seem too high on paper, but it’s there). — 3 years ago
