Casa Da Passarella Oenólogo Encruzado Branco

Description

This wine comes from one of the most iconic grape varieties of Dão, known for its freshness, versatility and longevity. On the nose it shows citrus notes, tangerine with lemon verbena. On the palate it is full-bodied, with vibrant acidity and a long, persistent finish. We are looking at a producer that has risen from the ashes. It has come to stay and to write a new story, but the history of this estate is old, dating back to the 19th century, when it was built. Great wines were born from this house and these vineyards. Who does not remember the P63, then vinified by José Maria da Fonseca? Fate would have it that the estate was "abandoned" by the wine world, leaving only a faint memory of the great wines that once came from there. Fate also decreed that the new owner would be a person of good taste, with great dedication to making things and making them well. Thus the new Casa da Passarella was born, to write a new chapter in the history of this house and in the Dão region. The wines are excellent and, no less delightful, their labels. They are wines made with rigour and a great deal of desire to make the best. The future, that seems assured to us, judging by its dazzling start. (image for illustrative purposes only)
