Encruzado


   The principal white grape of the Dao, more commonly blended. A good balance of crisp acidity with mild honey-rounded citrus flavors.
   A tasty example here from Astor Wines in NYC.
   Astor’s buyer’s note suggests “lighter seafood such as calamari, octopus and mussels. This bottle made a refreshing companion to a squid stir-fry with spinach, snow peas and bell pepper, flavored with ginger, garlic and scallions, dressed with a bit of soy sauce.
