An unoaked blend of Encruzado (mostly) Malvasia Fina and Verdelho that is pale, smoky and mineral on the nose. The searing acidity comes from the Encruzado, which is fleshed out by the Verdelho's slight tropical grapefruit characteristics. This is a bright, elegant and unusual wine.

Winemaking
This wine is a blend of the Encruzado, Malvasia and Verdelho grapes which are hand-picked once ripe, and partially vinified together. After a slight skin contact, the grapes and very lightly pressed and left to settle. The fermentation is in stainless steel with controlled temperature, where it then ages on the lees for 6 months to add flavour and texture. It also stabilises the wine, allowing minimal intervention.
