Taboadella Encruzado Reserva Branco 2023

Encruzado, also known as Salgueirinho, is an endemic grape variety from the Dão region. Cultivated in the sheltered highlands of Taboadella’s vineyard, in granites that have metamorphosed over hundreds of thousands of years, this lot of wines shares the special care taken with the Encruzado grape variety. The delicate cultivation of the Encruzado vines requires increased attention during the growing season, delivering tremendous rewards - the Taboadella Reserva Encruzado white is firm and exuberant, with a silky texture, linear structure and notable depth. It is a wine of the present and future.
