Detailed Description

The 2007 vintage is known for its deep, dark colour, with an expressive and complex nose, offering notes of blackberries and plums, along with hints of spice, balsamic, and mineral undertones. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, with well-integrated tannins and a lingering finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Magazine: A super-tuned red, barrel and fruit in full communion, very fine tannins, velvet texture, medium but solid body, full of freshness and beauty, a little Bordeaux style.

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.
