Encruzado is the Dão's most important white grape, and Fata makes it without oak. The wine ferments and ages in stainless steel, with five months on its lees and regular stirring, and it is not cold-stabilised before a light filtration.
The producer describes floral and citrus notes on the nose, with structure and freshness on the palate. 13% alcohol, 1.0 g/l residual sugar and 5.4 g/l acidity. Serve well chilled with fish and shellfish.
