Quinta do Crasto Vintage 2015

Grape Varieties: Old Vineyards

Tasting Note: Colour: Opaque. Nose: Excellent aroma concentration and depth, showing expressive notes of ripe berry fruit, fresh gum cistus and soft spices. Palate: Elegant start that leads to a full-bodied, concentrated wine made of fresh, firm, compact tannins. The finish is stylish, fresh and long finish and delivers a remarkable flavour explosion of ripe berry fruit in perfect harmony with gum cistus notes. All in perfect balance, predicting a high 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:About two years in large Portuguese oak vats. Bottled without fining or filtration; a light sediment may form in the bottle over time.

Gastronomy: Serving temperature 14-16ºC.

Winemaker: Manuel Lobo

Availability: In 1-3 business days
