The Encruzado Reserva Quinta da Falorca consists of 95% of the most beautiful white bar of the Daô - the Encruzado. This grape has the ability to maintain an almost perfect balance between sugars and acidity. It delivers dry, fruity and aromatic wines and is one of Portugal's top white grape varieties. This grape has an extraordinary aging potential and we can see that with this white wine from Quinta da Falorca because this wine can easily remain in your cellar or wine fridge until 2030. The wine has matured in new French oak and has a perfect alcohol percentage of 13% and this makes the wine super elegant.
This is a nice Encruzado, persistent and focused, with good acidity and concentration. The oak here is supportive and not dominant so this also retains its purity. This Branco from Portugal has developed beautiful aromas of roses, violets, but also of lemon and minerality. The wealth is impressive and because of the great acidity there is always a nice tension. The Encruzado Reserva is an impressive white wine with a great price / quality ratio.
