O Produtor, tasting note published in June 27th 2025

Pale lemon color, with good clarity and brightness, it shows remarkable intensity, purity, and aromatic definition. On the nose, fresh citrus notes stand out — such as lime and grapefruit — delicately integrated with floral hints of orange blossom, supported by a vibrant mineral matrix. On the palate, it reveals itself as very fresh, precise, and tense, with a lively natural acidity that gives it remarkable energy. It develops with depth, balance, and freshness into a wine of great seriousness, with excellent volume and an enveloping texture. A clearly gastronomic profile wine, finishing long, persistent, and precise. Its well-integrated natural acidity and solid, balanced structure suggest excellent aging potential in the bottle.

Quinta do Crasto

The year 2024 proved truly exceptional, with wines of excellent quality highlighting the perfect alignment between natural conditions and viticulture, standing out for their excellence and unique character.

Vinification: 60% Viosinho; 40% Verdelho. The grapes, from the Upper Douro, were transported in 22 kg capacity boxes and subjected to rigorous sorting at the winery entrance. They were then destemmed and pressed. The must was transferred to a stainless steel tank where it settled at 8ºC for 48 hours. Alcoholic fermentation began in stainless steel and the wine was later transferred to French oak barrels where fermentation finished, at a controlled temperature of 14ºC, over approximately 45 days.

Aging: Crasto Superior White aged in French oak barrels for 6 months, undergoing fine lees bâtonnage with the barrels placed on a rotating system that allows lees to be lifted without oxygen incorporation. New barrels 50% / Used barrels 50% | French oak – 85% / French oak barrels with acacia tops – 15%.

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.
