Quinta do Crasto Reserva "Old Vines"

The vines grow on traditional terraced vineyard sites supported by dry-stone walls, on schist, at elevations of around 120 to 450 metres. The old vines are approximately 70 years old on average and produce low yields. After hand harvesting and strict selection, the grapes are fully destemmed, lightly crushed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks; there is no information on spontaneous fermentation. The wine ages for around 18 months in French and American oak barrels. It shows concentrated fruit, spice and oak notes, firm yet well-integrated tannins, plenty of body and a long finish. It is bottled unfiltered, so sediment may form. ([quintadocrasto.wine](https://www.quintadocrasto.wine/en/products/crasto-reserva-old-vines/))
