Caves São João 98 Anos De História Branco

Description

“This wine from Caves São João is a delightfully unpretentious journey straight to the heart of the Dão. Crafted with a certain earthy humility, the Encruzado, Malvasia Fina, and Cerceal reveal a surprising complexity – think cool notes of flint, petrichor, and a hint of spice, echoing the region’s granite slopes. The aging in traditional “avinhadas” (wood vessels) lends a remarkable freshness and a robust mouthfeel, defying its age. It’s a wine with a quiet elegance, but don't mistake it for a delicate one; it’s perfectly suited to showcasing alongside freshly caught fish or roasted white meats.”
