Herdade Da Candeeira Branco

Description

“This Encruzado from Herdade da Candeeira has a slightly unusual maceration process – 24 hours at just 10°C – which, let’s be honest, is a bit of an eccentric approach. The slow fermentation in French oak barrels with *battonage* (lees stirring) for a month adds a welcome layer of complexity, as if the wine is contemplating its destiny. It’s a refined white with excellent potential paired with oysters or grilled white fish.”
