Quinta da Falorca Encruzado Reserva 2018
Description
Quinta da Falorca Encruzado Reserva 2018 est issu d'Encruzado et d'un petit pourcentage de Malvoisie et d'autres cépages. 10% seulement de ce Dão blanc sont élevés en fût de chêne français pendant deux mois, et le reste vieillit en cuve inox. Des mots mêmes de Mark Squires, critique de The Wine Advocate, bien que ce domaine se soit toujours distingué pour sa production de vin rouge, il excelle à présent dans la vinification du cépage Encruzado et ce millésime en est une magnifique démonstration.
Fiche technique
L'avis des experts
The 2018 Encruzado Reserva Quinta da Falorca (it also has 5% Malvasia, only because some Malvasia vines are sprinkled in the field blend) was partly (only 10%) aged for two months in new French oak, the rest in stainless steel. It comes in at 13% alcohol. Impressive in mouthfeel, this shows good concentration to go with its freshness and fine finish. The spicy finish is very tasty too. This has the chance to age very well—the producer is even more bullish than I am—and it will also improve over the next several years. This winery that I've always thought of as a red wine giant has suddenly become a fine producer of Encruzado as well. This vintage is a fine example. There were 6,544 bottles produced.
Rico pero no repetiría
Na casta Encruzado é muito difícil balancear a acidez com a frescura.... aqui, está assegurado! Daqui a 2 anos estará fantástico!
