Ribeiro Santo Encruzado Branco

Description

This Ribeiro Santo Encruzado, hailing from the Quinta do Ribeiro Santo, has a rather intriguing origin – it feels like it was born with a Dão soul! Grown on a granite hillside overlooking the Serra da Estrela, it boasts a remarkable minerality and vibrant acidity, a testament to the challenging terroir. Maturation in new French oak barrels has layered in notes of pear and white flowers, all while maintaining a wonderfully balanced profile – a reflection of the vineyard’s heritage. Achieving 17 points from Revista de Vinhos, it’s a truly expressive wine, and would be fantastic with grilled fish or fresh shellfish.
