Casa Da Passarella O Oenólogo Encruzado Branco

Description

This Encruzado from Casa da Passarella feels plucked straight from a fairy tale – or perhaps an ancient manuscript. Crafted from hand-harvested grapes and fermented with yeasts that enjoy a close relationship with the skins, it’s a wine brimming with character. The nine-month ageing in both concrete and oak barrels (a delightfully modern blend) has undeniably boosted its complexity. It evokes memories of the acclaimed P63 from José Maria da Fonseca, and with its distinctly “Dão” elegance, this wine clearly aspires to leave its own mark on the region’s viticultural heritage. Truly, a wine that feels like it’s risen from the ashes, perfectly suited to accompany fresh seafood or a delicate paella.
