TOP 3 White
110.00€
In Portugal it is common to find blend wines, whether reds or whites. There are few grape varieties that have become known individually but we want to highlight the ones we consider most relevant and, of course, tasty: Alvarinho, Encruzado and Antão Vaz.
Alvarinho is, without a doubt, a higher quality grape variety, being reponsible for creating fruity wines, with ripe citrus and tropical fruit aromas, and of great freshness. And as for Encruzado, the variety has recently become a favourite amongst critics much due to its similarities with the international variety
Chardonnay. Even though it is not very aromatic it is capable of handling well the vinification and the ageing in oak barrels.
The Antão Vaz variety that, together with Arinto, is part of the classical Alentejo region blend, is also one of our favourite white varieties. It is capable of producing full, voluminous and with ripe stone fruit wines that definitively make a memory.

Druida Reserva Encruzado
Druida Reserva Encruzado

This is a wine of a very limited production, coming from the winemaker Nuno do Ó. It is a more harsh Encruzado, more mineral and of great complexity. In the mouth it is noted some smokey notes as well as a citric and refreshing background.
The Druida Reserva Encruzado is a wine that can grow in the bottle and that presents a very serious and challenging white.

Herdade do Paço do Conde Reserva
Herdade do Paço do Conde Reserva

A wine that showcases the of why Encruzado is one of Portugal's best white grape varieties. The first thing that caught our attention regarding this wine is that fact that there aren't many single variety wines based in Antão Vaz in Portugal. It is a wineshaped by ripe stone fruit, orange peel and the buttery notes coming from the batonagge. It has a full, voluminous mouth but with a surprisingly fresh profile that
makes it highly wanted. A rare Antão Vaz, an excellent white wine.

Anselmo Mendes Expressões
Anselmo Mendes Expressões

Anselmo Mendes is one of the best Portuguese winemakers. It's in his properties in the Monção-Melgaço sub-region that some of the best Portuguese white wines are created and his Alvarinho wines are considered the canon of this variety in Portugal.
The Expressões wine we've selected aims to be the variety's most faithful representation: extremely aromatic to orange peel and with strong minerality. In the mouth it is fine, structured, with high precision and a refreshing ending. It is very complex and expressive and, for us, a world class wine.
