Encruzado, also known as Salgueirinho, is an endemic grape variety from the Dão region that is cultivated in the sheltered highlands of Taboadella’s vineyard, in granitic soils that have metamorphosed over hundreds of thousands of years.

The wine is firm and exuberant, with a silky texture, linear structure and notable depth. It is a wine of the present and future.
