Pale, smoky, and mineral on the nose. The searing acidity comes from the Encruzado, which is fleshed out by the Verdelho's slight tropical grapefruit characteristics

This wine is a blend of the Encruzado, Malvasia and Verdelho grapes which are hand-picked once ripe, and partially vinified together. After a slight skin contact, the grapes and very lightly pressed and left to settle. The fermentation is in stainless steel with controlled temperature, where it then ages on the lees for 6 months to add flavour and texture. It also stabilises the wine, allowing minimal intervention.
