Deep ruby in colour. The nose impresses for its extraordinary freshness and complexity, showing elegant notes of gum cistus, wild berries, and spices. The palate is compact and seductive, with smooth-textured tannins that are in perfect harmony with retronasal notes reminiscent of fresh aromas of wild berry fruit. The finish is engaging, balanced and long-lingering. This is a unique wine that shows the own identity of the centenary Vinha Maria Teresa vineyard.
It is exclusively sourced from Vinha Maria Teresa, a small plot of centenary vines that inspired its name and which is one of the oldest at Quinta do Crasto. This vineyard plot is located at extremely low altitudes and enjoys excellent sun exposure. Quinta do Crasto Vinha Maria Teresa is a super premium, single vineyard, Douro DOC red wine that is only bottled in exceptional years and always in strictly limited numbers.
Located in a prime spot in the Douro Demarcated Region in Northern Portugal, Quinta do Crasto has been in the family of Leonor and Jorge Roquette for more than a century. Like all the other great Douro estates, Quinta do Crasto dates far back into ancient times. The name Crasto comes from the Latin castrum meaning “Roman fort”.
