This aromatic white wine has an aroma of citrus, tropical and exotic fruit. In the mouth it is fruity, fresh, and harmonious. The fruit notes give it a very rewarding aftertaste. Only 10% of Casa de Santar's wines are white. The majority is red. Encruzado is a high-quality
white indigenous grape variety that produces wines with a slight 'greasiness' like chardonnay can.
