Critic scores
No critic score is published for this bottle that we can cite with a reviewer, a vintage and a review year, so none is shown. The rating above is our own.
What it pairs with
- Baked cod An Encruzado-dominant Grande Reserva has the body for a thick fillet.
- Seafood rice Malvasia Fina rounds the blend enough to sit with a stock-heavy dish.
- Roast poultry Dão whites at this level are built for white meat, not just fish.
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.
