Dão Encruzado

Full bodied, bitter almond, lemon, green melon, herbal notes, nice acidity. Like this

Peach, pineapple, kiwi. Medium-light bodied.

Waxy, lemon, delicious.

Burgundy- esque. Really an eye opener @ portugese whites. Has a Chardonnay feel, on Chablis spectrum

Teeny bit of salt gives way to more savory notes with some tart fruit at the end. Not too oaky. Glou glou glou

Nice, light

Not fresh, lemon confit, decent.

Pretty bird! Was not expecting this kind of concentration and intensity at this price point. Candied lemon, grapefruit, stone fruit, with something a bit herbal or even soapy in the background at first. Definitely benefits from some air.

Well rounded, light weight full bodied white. In the nose may appear a bit plain but that may be related to the delicate nature of the grape. Like a soft melody in the distance Peachy , melony, tea like with hints of passion fruit develops into citrusy, camomile and rose finishing up with a bit of mineral and an interesting twist with the oak notes out of the journey through the barrels... It pairs great with pretty much anything. It doesn’t rival his relatives the Alvarinho but it has the potential to do so in the future as a more affordable alternative. It lacks a bit of personality and definition just in the same way someone really young is growing up... I will definitely go back to this variety again.

Waxy, lemon vicious, salinity, nashi. It's alright ya know?
