Boavista Dao Encruzado Branco Atinado 2022 (750ml)
100% Encruzado, arguably Portugal’s finest white grape variety, from a one-hectare organic plot of south facing vines planted on old granitic soils. The wine was aged for eight months on lees in 1250L and 1800L old chestnut casks, going through malolactic fermentation, and is then bottled unfined and unfiltered, with only a small addition of SO2. With aromas of pear, quince, tangerine and a deep mineral note, the palate is well-structured and powerful, bringing to mind expressions of Saumur Blanc with texture and clarity.
