Winemaking Process – Meticulous Craftsmanship for a Superior White Wine

The Soito Dão Estate White Encruzado 2023 is meticulously vinified to highlight both vibrancy and depth. Grapes are hand-harvested, destemmed, gently crushed, and cold-settled at 10°C for 48 hours to preserve purity of flavour. Fermentation unfolds primarily in stainless steel tanks at a cool 16°C over three weeks, ensuring clarity and precision. A portion is barrel-fermented, introducing subtle oak nuances and layered complexity. Regular bâtonnage in both vats and barrels enhances its creamy mouthfeel and richness, delivering a harmonious white wine with a crisp, lingering finish.
