Reviews

Wine Spectator 96

This shows lovely range, with white peach, green fig, hazelnut husk, argan oil, white ginger and sandalwood all woven together, with a filigreed feel. Offers lovely underlying tension thanks to its seamlessly embedded acidity. Gorgeous.

Technical Details

Ageing

In 9000-litre Portuguese oak vats.

Appellation

Porto / Port.

Background

Crasto 30 Year Old is an aged tawny Port that has been matured in Portuguese oak vats for an average of 30 years. Made from selected Port wines coming from our best vineyards, this blend combines the complexity given by the older wines with the freshness and lively acidity delivered by younger wines. The result is a sophisticated, balanced wine.

Tasting notes

Bright amber in colour, with coppery nuances. The nose oers a remarkable complexity and aroma intensity and shows a combination of dried fruit, caramelised figs, toasted almonds and orange jam with hints of honey and delicate notes of spice and iodine. The palate is concentrated and full-bodied, with a smooth, fresh texture. Long, lingering and extraordinarily complex finish. Serve at a temperature between 12 and 14 degrees celcius.

Varietal

Old Vines - Field Blend.

Vinification

The grapes, coming from Old Vines, are taken to the winery in plastic boxes and undergo strict selection on arrival. On arrival in the winery they are rigorously inspected on a sorting table. The grapes with their stems are then slightly crushed and transferred to a traditional stone tank ('lagar') where they are foot trodden. After this, the grape spirit is added to stop the fermentation and fortify the wine.
