- Capacity:75cl
- Age of Vines: 60 years old
- Landscaping: Patamares (terraces) with two rows of vines
- Aspect, Soil and Altitude: East – South Schist, 120-450 metres
- Vinification:The grapes from old vines are 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 (´lagar´) where they are foot trodden. A er this, the grape
spirit is added to stop the fermentation and fortify the wine. - Ageing:About two years in 9000-litre Portuguese oak vats.
Bottled without fining or filtration; a light sediment may form in the bottle over time.
- Tasting notes:Opaque in colour. The nose displays notes of spice and gum cistus well integrated with fresh aromas of wild berry fruit. Vigorous attack on the palate, evolving into a solid, concentrated wine, with a compact structure of massive yet elegant tannins that are perfectly integrated with berry fruit retronasal aromas. An engaging wine, with a vibrant, lingering finish and an outstanding bottle ageing potential.
- Viticultural Year:The 2018 harvest began with the arrival of the first white grapes from Quinta do Crasto on August 29, and was wrapped up on October 14 with the last grapes from the highest altitude vineyards. On balance, 2018 brought Port wines that show excellent ageing potential.
