What The Fellas Say

Sometimes the simple path is most effective. This blend of Encruzado, Malvasia-Fina and Cerceal-Branco grapes is grown at altitude in granite soils. The wine is fermented in stainless steel with wild yeasts then matured in an 80-year-old cement tank. It’s expressive and confident and multi-purpose. It’s got a good solid four-on-the-floor beat that fills your mouth with smooth mineraly base layers, a no-nonsense rhythm section of pear and peach, and teasing high notes of orange flower.

What The Sommelier Says

This wine has a deep golden colour with orange nuances. Lovely intense nose of tropical and stone fruits and orange blossom. On the palate it’s well-balanced between a full and unctuouss body (probably from the micro-oxidation in concrete as well as the battonage) and excellent acidity and freshness.

Pairs well with…

…shrimp risotto, wild salmon, pad thai, cheesecake with raspberry coulis
