Tasting note
The wine is amber in colour and o ers excellent aroma complexity, with notes of honey, figs and so fine spices. On the palate it is fresh and perfectly balanced. The finish is delicate, elegant and persistent.
Viticulture
Quinta do Crasto 10 Year Old is an aged tawny Port that has been matured in Portuguese oak vats for an average of 10 years. Made from selected Port wines from our best vineyards, this blend o ers great complexity given by the older wines, with the younger wines bringing fresh fruit flavours and lively acidity.
Vinification
The Old Vines grapes undergo strict selection upon arrival in plastic boxes at the winery. After inspection on a sorting table, they're lightly crushed and placed in a traditional stone tank ("lagar") for foot treading. Grape spirit is then added to halt fermentation and fortify the wine.
