Encruzado Late Release | Alvaro Castro

Encruzado is considered by many to be the finest white grape in Portugal, and this is a thrilling expression. It’s full of crystalline citrus fruits, fresh white flowers and a stony, mineral character- balanced but with huge concentration, this is pure Encruzado at its best.
