According to Luis Lopes: Encruzado da Quinta do Paço, part fermented in barrels. Time has given it aromatic intensity, now showing hints of orange and green apple. Beautiful texture in the mouth, lightly smoked, always on the austere side but revealing elegance and finesse. Very attractive, on point to drink.
