Quinta Das Marias Encruzado Branco

Description

This Encruzado from Quinta das Marias feels like it’s been handled with a touch of reverence – a slow, deliberate process with 17 days of temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, followed by a month and a half of *bâtonnage*. The result is a richly concentrated wine, hinting at careful maturation. As noted by a leading wine publication, it’s a genuine pleasure to drink, and would pair beautifully with a good fish or shellfish. Remarkably, it seems to fully express its potential as it ages – a trait quite common with this varietal.
