Reserva Encruzado Dão White 2021

The Reserva Encruzado DAO White is produced in the Dão region of Portugal, a renowned wine appellation known for its high-quality white and red wines. The Dão region is characterized by its granite soils and temperate climate, ideal for cultivating the Encruzado grape variety.

This wine is made exclusively from the Encruzado grape, a native Portuguese white grape variety prized for its aromatic complexity and aging potential.

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully selected to ensure optimal ripeness. The winemaking process involves controlled fermentation at low temperatures to preserve the delicate aromas. The wine is aged in oak barrels, which contributes to its complexity and structure, typical of a Reserva classification.
