O Produtor, tasting note published in July 27th 2024

Deep and intense ruby ​​color, it presents a complex aromatic profile with strong notes of forest berries and ripe black fruits, harmonizing with subtle hints of spices. On the palate, it begins with excellent volume, showing itself as a wine of serious structure composed of elegant and well-structured tannins. An enveloping wine that reflects very well the typicity of the Syrah grape and ends with excellent freshness and persistence.

The year 2022 was challenging, but the wines exhibited moderate alcohol levels, balanced acidity, stable colors, and good structure. Above all, they stood out for their fantastic elegance!

After complete destemming and a light crushing, the must was transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation tanks.

Quinta do Crasto

The first known references to Quinta do Crasto can be traced back to 1615, long before the Douro Valley became the world’s first demarcated wine region in 1756. The property is a historic one and is recorded as having been awarded “feitoria” status (the highest vineyard classification of the time) in 1761. The original demarcation was marked with a series of granite markers. One of these markers, called “marco pombalino”, dating back to 1758, is still visible at the Quinta.

In the early 1900s, Quinta do Crasto was purchased by Constantino de Almeida, founder of the famous Constantino Port house. Following his death in 1923, his son, Fernando de Almeida, continued to run the Quinta, producing stellar Port wines.

In 1981, Fernando de Almeida’s daughter, Leonor Roquette, and her husband, Jorge Roquette, assumed majority ownership and management of the estate. With the help of their sons, Miguel and Tomás, they began the process of remodelling and expanding the vineyards and facilities to enable the production of top quality Port and Douro wines. Quinta do Crasto has now reclaimed its rightful status as one of the great family estates of the Douro region.
