Casa de Mouraz, Encruzado - 2020

Item # 26140 750mL

Encruzado is not often seen on this side of the Atlantic. Grown mostly in the Dão, this obscure white grape is usually used in blends.

This white should be drunk at a cool temperature, preferably with friends over an array of lighter seafood, such as calamari, octopus, and mussels.
