Dão - Silgueiros
100% Encruzado
Fermentation and stage in oak add complexity and olfactory exuberance. Floral and citrus notes predominant to contribute to the balance and freshness of a wine of great amplitude.
The Encruzado variety is unique in the Dão region: it is quite balanced, aromatic and gives the wines a great longevity. The vines grow on slopes located between 350 and 400 meters. The vineyard is grown in an integrated protection program: the use of herbicides is forbidden. Infestation control is carried out through soil movement. Grape picking is done by hand, variety by variety, when the ideal point of maturity is reached, normally in the second fortnight of September. The harvest is collected in small 10 kg boxes.
