Quinta Dos Roques Encruzado, Dao

Quinta Dos Roques Encruzado, Dão 2022

£25.50

Another example of what top quality native grapes can achieve in the right hands

  • Light straw perfectly clear; with an elegant bouquet of fruits and a slight touch of resin.
  • On the palate the first impression is of freshness but immediately you notice the great structure and complexity of the wine. The finish is very long and persistent.
  • It's fair to say that Quinta dos Roques single-handedly revived the reputation of the Dao's finest white varietal, and still enjoy the reputation as the finest exponent of Encruzado.
  • Increasingly, Luis Lourenco prefers to keep the oak element in the background, and let the grape's citrussy profile express itself as much as possible.
  • It should be served at a temperature of 12-14ºC, and accompanying seafood, strong fish dishes and spicy food.
  • Grape variety: Encruzado
  • Vintage: 2022
  • Type/Colour: White
  • Alcohol: 13.5%

I have been pining after this since tasting it various times over the last couple of years. A 'Burgundy style' Portuguese white for the meatier summer dishes! - Thom Allinson, OWC
