Quinta dos Carvalhais Encruzado is a varietal white Dão wine of exceptional quality, the greatest exponent of the elegance and richness of the Encruzado grape. Heir to ancient knowledge, Quinta dos Carvalhais combines the experience with innovation to create very elegant wines, with flavors of intense delicacy and unique personality.

Encruzado grapes arrived at the cellar in 20 kg boxes, being discharged directly into the pneumatic press. After pressing the whole grapes, the must was subjected to static decanting at low temperature for a period of 24 hours. He was then sent to a stainless steel vat where fermentation began, and in the course of it he was transferred to French oak barrels of different capacities (225, 500 and 1000 liters) where he finished fermentation and interaged.

About 40% of the wine interaged 8 months in French oak barrels of different capacities (20% 225 liters; 50% 500 liters; 30% 1000 liters). The stage took place over total lees with occasional bâtonnage. The remaining part of the wine interned in stainless steel, on fine rubbery.

Proof Notes: Citrine yellow color, clear and bright. Intense aroma with notes of yellow flesh fruit, such as peach and nectarine. Floral notes of jasmine. Complex due to the good integration of the sweet notes of the barrel stage. Mouth attack with a lot of aromatic intensity, where the peach aromas and floral notes stand out again. Firm acidity and well integrated. Very balanced and persistent finish.

Ideal to drink simple as an appetizer or to accompany more elaborate fish dishes, smoked fish, white meat dishes or poultry. It perfectly accompanies a typical roasted goat from the region.
