Product information "Terra d'Alter Encruzado 2018"

In light straw yellow with green reflexes, Terra d'Alter Encruzado flows into the glass and exudes subtle notes of citrus fruits and white peach. On the palate it shows a refreshing minerality that comes from the complex barrel fermentation in the vinification process.

The Terra d'Alter Encruzado is a varietal white from the Monte Barrão vineyard in the Alto Alentejo. Encruzado is considered one of the best Portuguese grape varieties with its distinctive minerality.

Treatment in the cellar

The grapes were left to swell cold, after which they fermented in used oak barrels. The wine was allowed to rest on the lees for 5 months before bottling and release.
