Primado Branco

Description

This Primado do Dão, primarily made with Encruzado, seems to have benefited from a slightly extended maceration – a delightfully charming hesitation, really. The slow, deliberately controlled fermentation between 14 and 15°C really allowed the nuances of the grape to shine through, a true treat for white wine aficionados. And, of course, Robert Parker’s 89-point endorsement confirms what we suspected – it’s a wine that exceeds expectations. A fantastic pairing would be with a classic Bacalhau à Brás, to balance the wine's acidity beautifully.
