Found it to be very refreshing, light, and not too ‘citrusy’ like majority of white wines from Portugal. It was fantastic with fresh oysters from Algarve and calamari. And best of all, it goes down very easy.

Very light golden color to this wine, almost clear. I know in my head that cream may be a smell, and creamy a texture, one for the mouth and one for the nose. But I have to say that this wine smells creamy with light flowery citrus, delicate and restrained. Sweet tarts are a childhood favorite that comes to mind, with grandma's potpourri not directly under my nose more as though it was sitting in a dusty corner of the living room, only gently sneaking in from time to time. In the mouth this wine has a simple acidity at first restrained, but as you swallow a nice prickly texture of brightness glistens in my mind.

Encruzado/Cerceal Branco/Bical 12.5% alc.- Slight greenish hay color showing honeydew melon and pear with light notes of both cinnamon dusting and wet bark. Great acidity on the dead center of the palate, with a elegant round mouthfeel. The wine gently rolls off the sides of my tongue like rain on a newly waxed car, leaving a slight citrus and tropical fruit finish. I like it more than I did before, yet I still find a slight hollowness on the palate. Albeit balanced, the wine lacks a bit of personality. 3/5

Nose shows passion fruit, cinnamon, and is quite perfumery. Very light in the mouth with moscato notes, and and a hollow simple finish. Simple and very delicate with a gravely sweet-tart finish. 2.5/5

Tasted wine at Sacramento in Lisbon. Encruzado/Cerceal Branco/Bical
Incredible nose with aromas of musty basement, cinnamon and perfume. Light and refreshing on the palate with flavors of passionfruit and guava, but sadly become hollow and diluted near the finish. Great nose, but the palate just doesn't match up.
