Quinta Do Crasto Description
Deep dark violet color. The nose is complex and engaging, offering aromas of wild berry fruits in
perfect harmony with fresh hints of wood forest and fine spice. The palate starts in an elegant way,
evolving into a wine of excellent volume and solid structure, with silky tannins giving a smooth
texture. The finish is balanced and long lingering. This is an appealing wine that shows the unique
identity of the Douro Superior.
A blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Sousão aged in French oak barrels for about 12 months.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The 2020 Superior Tinto comes from their Douro Superior property, from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and some Sousão grapes to give it acidity. It was a warm and ripe year, and the wine achieved 14% alcohol but avoided over-ripeness (the vineyard is north-facing), with 5.1 grams of acidity. It's clean and modern, with integrated oak. It's spicy and tasty, with a smoky twist in the finish after spending 12 months in French oak barrels. 99,986 bottles and some other formats produced.
