Quinta do Sobral Curtimenta White Wine 2023 100% Encruzado

The Quinta do Sobral Curtimenta 2023 is a remarkable white wine made exclusively from the Encruzado grape, the flagship variety of the Dão region. It is produced with a natural winemaking approach, undergoing fermentation for 6 months in new French oak barrels (250L) using only indigenous yeasts, with no chemical or mechanical intervention, and no batonnage.

It presents a bright citrus color with complex aromas of lemon, violets, floral resin, and subtle vanilla notes. On the palate, it offers elegant structure, lingering acidity, and a lively, spicy finish highlighted by a gentle hint of ginger. The oak imparts a round texture without overpowering the wine, achieving perfect balance between freshness and depth.

An ideal choice for lovers of age-worthy, gastronomic white wines with strong character and complexity.
