Product information "Quinta do Crasto LBV Port 2017/2022 0.75L -GB-"
The Quinta do Crasto LBV 2017 is an intense, deep-colored port wine made from old vines of various traditional Douro grape varieties. The 2017 vintage is one of the estate's earliest and most exceptional: a warm winter and a dry spring led to rapid bud break, followed by low rainfall and moderate water stress. Harvesting began as early as August and, thanks to cooler nights in late summer, resulted in perfectly ripened grapes. After careful selection, the grapes, including the stems, are lightly crushed and then traditionally foot-trodden in the lagar (traditional wine press) before fermentation is stopped by the addition of wine distillate. The port matures for approximately four years in large oak casks and is bottled unfiltered, allowing a natural sediment to form. The nose reveals notes of black fruit, minerality, and cocoa. On the palate, it is powerful and fresh, supported by ripe forest berries, balanced tannins, and a long, harmonious finish. An authentic LBV that impressively reflects the depth and elegance of the Douro Valley.
