Tasting Note

Deep purple in colour. With an extraordinary aroma intensity, the nose shows wild berry fruit notes in perfect harmony with elegant hints of spice and cocoa. The palate starts in an enchanting way, leading to a textured wine that has excellent volume and a solid structure made of velvety, lingering tannins. Lots of complexity and depth to the end. This is a terroir wine that perfectly reflects the pure essence of its provenance, the Vinha da Ponte vineyard.

Product Notes

Quinta do Crasto Vinha da Ponte is a premium wine from the renowned Douro region of Portugal. Made from a blend of indigenous grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz, this wine is a true expression of the terroir. The vineyard, located on steep slopes with schist soil, produces low yields of intensely flavored grapes that are hand-harvested and carefully selected.

The wine is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of black fruit, spice, and tobacco. Quinta do Crasto Vinha da Ponte is a rich and full-bodied wine with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. Perfect to enjoy now or to cellar for further aging, this wine is a true gem of Portuguese winemaking tradition.
