Quinta Dos Roques is a small family producer in the Dão Region, focused on working the family vineyards with traditional grape varieties. For over a century wines were made as as part of a co-operative predominantly for household consumption, it is now a project designed to produce high quality Dão wines. Its fair to say that Quinta dos Roques single-handedly revived the reputation of the Dao’s finest white varietal, and still enjoys the reputation as the finest exponent of Encruzado. Increasingly, Luis Lourenco prefers to keep the oak element in the background, and let the grape’s citrussy profile express itself as much as possible. Quinta dos Roques Encruzado is regularly rated as one of the country’s leading dry white wines. Perfect with seafood or spicy dishes.
