I like it. Crisp and fine. I was expecting more secondary aromas and flavors for the price. This is still a baby, so I’m going to hold off judgement til later, but at the moment overpriced. Also 500m. Might be higher altitude than some parts of #Portugal, but it’s really not that high. La Mancha starts at 700m. And of course we all know about vineyards near the Andes.

Like fine fine Chenin Blanc. Weighty and deep yet also bright and fresh. Salty lemony and delicious.

White wine from Portugal, variety: Encruzado. Very old vines at high altitude. Complex, minerality (almost phosphorous), rich in texture and high personality and expression.

Encruzado, a Portuguese discovery and must try. Village (dare I say 1re cru) Chablis or high quality Aligoté nose, could have a bit more length and depth on the palette. Might improve further given a few years.
