Saltine crackers, bready, yeasty, love that profile. Has some tropical white fruits as well which makes for an interesting but admirable combination.

Haven't ever had an encruzado based white before this trip but these are quite tasty. Loads of mineral and lemon

Like most mineral-driven whites, there is racing acidity with a stoney backbone that doesn't disappoint. The underlying almond richness in this wine really sets it apart though with a savory quality that is bold yet elegant. Definitely allow to come down in temperature to really get the beauty of this wine! Love you Encruzado!!!
