5/ 5

<p></p> <p>MOB Encruzado reveals all the elegance and complexity of this noble Dão grape variety. On the nose, the vibrant freshness stands out, with aromas of ripe citrus fruit, white flowers and delicate mineral notes. On the palate, it has a balanced structure, with a precise acidity that gives it great vivacity and depth. The finish is long and persistent, revealing a distinct mineral character and remarkable potential for evolution in the bottle. A sophisticated white wine full of identity, ideal with shellfish, grilled fish and Mediterranean cuisine.</p>

<p></p> <p>The Quinta Pedra da Cancela is the fruit of the passion for the wine of the Gouveia family. The winemaking operation has been a family activity for several generations, in the beginning they were delivering their grapes at the Adega Cooperativa. In 1999, with the end of the superior studies in Viticulture and Enology of João Paulo Gouveia, son of João Coelho Gouveia, they decide to create their own wine. The vineyards were restructured, others were acquired and a modern wine cellar was built and with a high technology, all respecting the culture of the Dão demarcated region. In 2014 the name of the company became Pedra Cancela Vinhos do Dão Lda</p>
