Quinta do Crasto LBV
Situated on the right bank of the river
Douro, half way between Regua and Pinhao, Quinta do Crasto is one of the new
wave of Douro estates that are making superlative red wines. Using traditional
Port grape varieties such as Tinto Roriz, Tinta Francesca and Touriga National,
supplemented by more obscure local varieties, the results are stunning. Wines
of vibrancy and substance.
Note: Quinta do Crasto wines are not
organic or biodynamic, but they are made with minimal intervention, tradition,
immense style and reflective of the terroir. These are listed because they are
one of my most favourite wines and are also fantastic value for money! - Jane
Christy
Tasting Note
This late bottled vintage shows
brooding black cherry fruit with a huge cedary core. A simple wine with a fine
dark colour, ripe and mouth filling and rounded off by sweet finish.
