Quinta do Crasto Douro Tinto, 2016

Grape Varieties Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca and Tinta Barroca

Winemaking Grapes are taken to the winery in 22 kg boxes. After a rigorous selection, the stalks are removed and the grapes are crushed and transferred to stainless steel vats. The alcoholic fermentation takes place at controlled temperature for 7 days. Ageing 95% in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats; 5% in 225-litre French oak barrels for 6 months.

Tasting Note Dark ruby in colour, with excellent aroma expressiveness, showing notes of fresh red fruit and elegant floral notes reminiscent of violets. Seductive on the palate, evolving into a balanced wine of great volume and a solid structure. The tannins are polished and well-integrated with retronasal sensations of red fruit. Attractive and fresh wine, with a lovely, lingering finish.
