In the glass

Palate: full and mineral, crisp acidity, elegant close
Golden citrine varietal Encruzado with ripe orange, exotic fruit and toast from fifteen months in French oak, full and mineral in the mouth.
What it pairs with
- Roast monkfish Fifteen months in barrel give the volume a meaty fish needs.
- Chicken with saffron The toasted, orange-tinged aromatics suit a spiced bird.
- Aged cheese Crisp acidity keeps the pairing from turning heavy.
With cheese
Queijo Serra da Estrela
Our pick Serra da Estrela's paste is buttery, unctuous and only slightly acidulous. A dry Encruzado white has the acidity to cut that cream and enough texture of its own to match the cheese's soft, rich body.
Queijo Serra da Estrela Velho
Our pick Velho is strong, lightly peppery and salty. A Reserva, Grande Reserva or oak-aged Encruzado has the depth from age, lees or wood to meet it, and its acidity cuts through the aged fat while the salt sets off the fruit.
