Grape Varieties: Old Vineyards

Tasting Note: Opaque in colour, the nose shows excellent concentration and aroma expression, with ripe wild fruit, delicate notes of spice and hints of cacao. Powerful beginning on the palate, evolving into a wine with a solid structure, made of massive tannins of great quality and freshness. This is a unique wine that enhances the power of Quinta do Crasto's terroir and finishes in a very engaging way, with an almost endless persistence.

Vinification: The grapes from old vines are taken to the winery in plastic boxes. On arrival in the winery they are rigorously inspected on a sorting table. The grapes with their stems are then slightly crushed and transferred to a traditional stone tank (lagar) where they are foot trodden. After this, the grape spirit is added to stop the fermentation and fortify the wine.

Ageing: About two years in 20.000 litre-Portuguese oak vats. Bottled without fining or filtration; a light sediment may form in the bottle over time.

Gastronomy: Serving temperature 14-16ºC.

Winemakers: Susana Esteban and Tomás Roquette.

Availability: In 1-3 business days
