Primado Encruzado Branco

Description

It seems this Primado Encruzado was perhaps a touch over-hyped. The description speaks of an almost overwhelming exuberance – green apple and citrus notes that are pleasant enough, certainly, but perhaps a little too predictably employed. There’s a persistent suggestion of wild herbs and an insistence on elegance, hinting at a wine with perhaps overly ambitious aims. Despite good structure and a lingering finish, the whole experience feels a little… curated. It pairs exceptionally well with seafood, particularly cod – a remarkably safe bet, wouldn’t you agree?
