2021 Quinta do Crasto Superior Red 6 x 0.75L

DESCRIPTION
Jorge Roquette first came into contact with the Douro Valley and Quinta do Crasto in 1962. That’s when he married Leonor Guedes de Almeida, whose grandfather Constantino de Almeida had been founder of the famed Constantino Port house.
Since then, Quinta do Crasto has become his life’s work. The last fifty years have brought him immense joy, but as in any great passion, great sacrifices as well.
In 1994 they began to bottle and sell their own Douro wines. Soon afterwards they began marketing Porto wines from Quinta’s stocks, beginning with the 1978 Vintage Port. At about the same time, Jorge Roquette was able to start sharing this passion with his three children – Miguel, Tomás and Rita – whose hard work and energetic commitment have helped Quinta do Crasto earn its eminent position on the global wine map.
They started by investing in the vineyards themselves – the central component to producing quality wines. In response to the growing global interest in the Douro wines, they decided to invest even further and bought Quinta da Cabreira in Douro Superior (Upper Douro), a 150-hectare property, where were planted 114 hectares of vineyards. Later, in 2006, they acquired Quinta do Querindelo, strengthening the response to their growing needs. Investments continued with the renovation of the barrel cellar and, more recently, with the remodeling of wine cellars and lagares. Currently, the family is again investing in the requalification of some vineyards.
The winemakers have been key to this lifelong journey. They have brought vastly differing backgrounds, styles and skills together to make an invaluable contribution to the production of their wines.
It has been a grand adventure for all involved, marked by many great triumphs. Jorge Roquette is convinced that many new adventures lie ahead and that they will bring continued success to Quinta do Crasto wines. This is just the beginning.
The passion continues…

VINIFICATION
The grapes, coming from our property Quinta da Cabreira in the Douro Superior sub-region, are taken to the winery in plastic boxes and rigorously inspected on a sorting table on arrival.

TASTING NOTES
Deep dark red, with purple hues. Intense, fresh and complex aroma profile, showing notes of wild fruit and fresh hints of woodland and spice. The palate starts balanced and elegant, evolving into a wine with powerful, yet silky tannins that o er a rich, velvety texture. The finish is long and elegant. This is a serious wine that mirrors the uniqueness and identity of the Douro Superior.

SERVING
It goes well with red and white meats and cheeses. Store in a horizontal position, in a cool and dry place, protected from light and temperature fluctuations. Serve at a temperature between 16ºC and 18ºC. Consume in moderation.
