Aroma: orchard white fruit, orange blossom

Palate: distinctly mineral, fresh, balanced

Citrine yellow with white orchard fruit and orange blossom, and a palate the cooperative sums up as mineral, fresh and balanced.

What it pairs with

  • Grilled fish
    A mineral, fresh Encruzado is the standard Dão answer to plain fish.
  • Clams with coriander
    Orange blossom aromatics suit the herb and the acidity handles the broth.
  • Chicken salad
    Balance rather than weight lets the wine sit with a cold lunch plate.
