Dão, Northern Portugal, PortugalYou would be forgiven for guessing this was a Rhone white on a blind tasting. Encruzado, especially with some age (2009 still on shelves) builds herbal, hazelnut, honeycomb and savoury stone while maintaining a firm rod of acid - all of which are in play here in this impressive white. Bitter wild herbs, light meadow flowers, straw, mellow pear and lemon rind, all bound together across an oily, textured palate. Great length - drinking beautifully right now. Pour with roast poultry or sablefish.Tasted: 20 March 2015Tasted by: Prices:

Dão, Northern Portugal, PortugalAnother impressive offering from Dão Sul that just screams freshness and drinkability on the nose and immediately on the attack. We love the mineral grapefruit aromas, the finely-tuned, subtle oak additions and its bright, fresh, citrus and almond flavoured palate. Delicious and different, this would be great with an avocado and citrus salad or any summer chop salad. Great value in alternative, modern wine.Tasted: 12 July 2011Tasted by: Prices:
