Quinto do Crasto 2018 Quinta Do Crasto Superior White

Details

Quinta do Crasto, which traces its roots back to the 17th century, was purchased by Constantino de Almeida, a partner in the Port house of Constantino, in 1910. ln 1981, Constantino de Almeidas granddaughter Leonor (Tita) and her husband Jorge Roquette took over the Quinta, determined to restore and revitalize the family estate. Following the change in Portuguese law (allowing single quintas to bottle and export wine), Crasto has been producing and exporting table and port wines since 1994. The perseverance and commitment of the Roquette family has restored Quinta do Crasto to its rightful status as one of the great family estates of the Douro.

Tasting Notes

This wine takes its name from the location of the vineyard from which the grapes come: Douro Superior (Upper Douro). The grapes used to make this wine come from our property Quinta da Cabreira where we have 114 hectares of recently planted vines.With a bright lemon colour, it is very aromatic on the nose, with vibrant citrus notes perfectly combined with delicate floral hints and a fresh, marked minerality. Harmonious beginning that leads to a balanced wine with a fresh texture. The palate offers lemony and mineral notes and a vibrant acidity that provides great persistence to the finish.
