Encruzado, also known as Salgueirinho, is an endemic grape variety from the Dão region. Cultivated in the sheltered highlands of Taboadella’s vineyard, in granites that have metamorphosed over hundreds of thousands of years. The delicate cultivation of the Encruzado vines requires increased attention during the growing season, delivering tremendous rewards - the wine is firm and exuberant, with a silky texture, linear structure and notable depth.
