Morgado De Silgueiros Encruzado Branco

Description

This Encruzado from Morgado de Silgueiros clearly spent some time maturing, presenting a beautiful citrine hue and a mineral character reminiscent of the Serra d’Aqui. The 14 days of fermentation in French oak, with that lovely ‘battonage sur lies’, have gifted it with a remarkably persistent finish – think lemon tea and orange blossom, as confirmed by a respectable 16.5 points from *Revista de Vinhos*. It’s a fantastic pairing for grilled fish with a citrus kick, perhaps a delightful bacalhau com limão to really balance the wine’s intensity.
