2023 Quinta da Falorca Encruzado Reserva Blanco Magnum

The 2023 Quinta da Falorca Encruzado Reserva Blanco Magnum is a standout white from Portugal’s Dão region, showing the poise and depth that have made Encruzado one of the country’s most admired white grapes. Presented in magnum format, it offers excellent cellaring potential and a more graceful evolution in bottle, making it especially appealing for collectors and occasions worth celebrating.

Tasting Notes
Expect a wine with a bright, luminous straw-gold colour and a refined, expressive aromatic profile. On the nose, Encruzado typically delivers citrus blossom, ripe orchard fruit, subtle stone fruit and a mineral edge, with the Reserva style often adding a touch of texture and complexity. On the palate, this is likely to be fresh yet layered, with a balanced combination of orchard fruit, citrus precision and a creamy or lightly waxy mid-palate. The Dão’s natural acidity gives the wine drive and finesse, while the magnum format supports slow, elegant ageing. With time, it should develop greater depth, nutty nuances and a more complex, savoury character.

Production
Quinta da Falorca is based in Dão, one of Portugal’s most historic and expressive wine regions, where granite soils, altitude and a relatively cool climate help preserve freshness and aromatic lift in the grapes. Encruzado thrives here, producing wines with both structure and finesse. As a Reserva, this wine is made with a focus on balance and complexity, typically through careful fruit selection and vinification designed to retain purity while adding texture and depth.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile white that works beautifully with roast poultry, grilled fish, creamy seafood dishes, monkfish rice, mushroom risotto, and soft or semi-cured cheeses. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, to show both freshness and texture. Decanting is not essential, but a short aeration can help if served young or if you want to highlight its more complex aromas.

Producer
Quinta da Falorca is a respected producer in the Dão region, known for crafting wines that reflect the elegance and individuality of local varieties, especially Encruzado. The estate has earned a strong reputation for producing wines with character, balance and ageing potential, helping to showcase Dão as one of Portugal’s most distinctive fine-wine regions.
