QUINTA DO CRASTO OLD VINES 2023

The Quinta do Crasto Vinhas Velhas 2023 comes from parcels over eighty years old, where Douro red grape varieties grow in schist soils with low yields and extraordinary concentration. The deep ruby color announces a wine of great intensity, with a nose dominated by wild black fruits, black plum, rockrose flowers and a mineral graphite touch. On the palate, the structure is imposing, with firm yet refined tannins and acidity that brings tension and longevity. Traditional vinification in granite lagares with foot treading preserves the authenticity of old vines, while careful barrel ageing adds complexity without weight. A wine that honors the Douro viticultural heritage and the Roquette family tradition.
