What The Fellas Say

Pure and simple. Rich and creamy. This monovarietal hasn’t touched a wood barrel, and is like a trapeze artist on the high wire – brilliantly poised, impeccably balanced, defying gravity. You can watch the show tonight and drink in its splendor right away, but it will get even better with age, so maybe stash it away in your cellar for a few years.

What The Sommelier Says

Bright straw color with hints and flecks of green. A complex nose unsullied by wood that fully expresses the subtelty of the encruzado grape, floral at first then revealing apple, citrus and wild herbs. In the mouth, it is well-structured and excellently balanced, its secrets continuing to unfold with discreet hints of citrus, green apple and walnut. Long, aromatic and harmonious finish.

Pairs well with…

…pretty much anything from a summery grilled fish to roast pheasant or even some red meats and stinky cheeses.
