Quinta do Crasto Vintage 2010

Grape Varieties: Old Vineyards

Tasting Note: Colour: very dark in colour. Nose: blackberry, blueberry and fig notes in perfect harmony with fresh hints of gum cistus. Excellent complexity. Palate: fresh and elegant in the palate, evolving into a compact structure. Excellent volume. Very present yet soft-textured tannins. It finishes with an aromatic explosion of berry fruits. A fresh, complex, lingering wine which announces a great ageing potential.

Vinification: The grapes from old vines are hand-picked and 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 where they are foot trodden. After this, the grape spirit is added to stop the fermentation and fortify the wine

Ageing: Two years in large Portuguese oak vats.

Gastronomy: Serving temperature 14-16ºC.

Winemakers: Manuel Lobo and Tomás Roquette.

Availability: In 1-3 business days
