Aroma: citrus, floral notes, mineral, ripe delicate fruit

Palate: fresh core, good acidity, harmonious structure

Encruzado with Malvasia Fina, elegant and balanced: citrus, floral and mineral notes over ripe but delicate fruit, fresh with structure to carry it.

What it pairs with

  • Grilled sea bream
    Citrus and mineral notes with real acidity are the standard case for a plain grilled fish.
  • Salt cod salad
    The wine has enough structure for a cold cod, potato and olive dish.
  • Chicken with lemon and herbs
    Good acidity and floral lift make it work with white meat as well as fish.
