Primado Family Edition Encruzado Branco 2024

Produced from specially selected grapes, it is a wine of rare complexity. It presents an impressive structure, revealing a sublime elegance that time will only make even more admirable.

Grape Varieties: Encruzado (100%)

Tasting Notes: Yellow colour with golden nuances resulting from barrel fermentation. The aroma reveals floral and citrus notes, with hints of almond, light pineapple, and a subtle touch of fresh peach, while on the retronasal, floral notes of orange blossom and lemon tree stand out. The complexity is completed by a clear minerality, accompanied by a subtle hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is dry, vibrant, and crisp, with a well-defined acidity. Ripe plum and white chocolate are accompanied by a remarkable freshness of lime and peach, all wrapped in a subtle hint of vanilla that gives it volume and texture. Enveloping, it reveals a creaminess that gives it a smooth and long finish.

Vinification: Full fermentation in a 500-liter French oak barrel with bâtonnage.

Ageing: 9 months in a 500-liter French oak barrel, followed by 6 months in bottle.
