2011 | Quinta do Crasto | Vinhas Velhas - Old Vines Reserva (Magnum)

Toasted wood, minerals, black fruit, balsamic resins, very focused, with a slight sweet appeal. In the mouth it is very harmonious and balanced, with firm tannins, medium body, good texture, lots of freshness, long finish and with great delicacy.

Reviews:

• Wine Magazine: The balsamic notes structure this wine with its ripe fruit notes and concise walnut tannins. Appears very authentic and direct, rustic in the most positive sense, and because of the delicious spice notes very typical of the Douro.

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.
