- Wine Advocate: A generous, powerful red, with violet notes flanking the blackberry and cherry flavors bound together by vibrant acidity. Underpinned by spice, tea and wild herb notes, this concludes with a lingering, smoke-tinged finish.
Producer Information
Quinta do Crasto is a well-regarded estate in the Douro region founded in 1615, although it is sometimes viewed as something of a newcomer. This is due to a change in Portuguese wine law which allowed single quintas to bottle and export wine. Following this, Quinta do Crasto has been producing Port and table wine under its own label since 1994. The portfolio includes LBV and Vintage Port, plus a range of table wines under the Quinta do Crasto and Crasto labels. The estate has 70 hectares (175 acres) of south-facing terraced vineyards located in the heart of the Cima Corgo. These are carved into the schist bedrock on the hills above the Douro river, reaching altitudes of around 2000ft (600m) above sea level. The vineyard terraces are planted to a host of classic Port varieties, in traditional mixed plantings. The winemaking at Quinta do Crasto combines traditional foot-treading lagares with state-of-the-art temperature-controlled equipment. As well as the quinta itself, the company also has offices in downtown Porto.
