Encontro 1 2008

17.5 / 20
Producer: Dão Sul
Region: Bairrada
Country: Portugal




Hailing from the Bairrada region, this straw coloured white wine starts by filling the nose with toasted, vanilla notes reminiscent of its stage in oak. Some tropical fruit and citrus notes are beautifully integrated with these, resulting in a elegant, sophisticated aroma. In the mouth, it keeps showing off its elegance, with a creamy texture balanced by a great acidity ending with a long, persistent finish. A really good white from the Bairrada and probably one of the best white wines in Portugal.
