Ferradosa Vinhas Velhas Red
Casa da Passarellla O Enólogo – Vinhas Velhas 3x Red
Dão wine, Casa da Passarella O Énologo - Vinhas Velhas, is born from a single vineyard with 80 years, so it is through it that we intend to assume the unique terroir of that parcel. The old vineyard is a set of vines of about 24 different grape varieties (including some white grape varieties, as was absolutely normal at the time) that, over the course of almost a century, have naturally adapted to that plot, in perfect harmony. The harvest is manual and done in one go, with the fermentation of the entire blend of grapes made in a traditional cement vat. As a result of the natural balance given by the vine, fermentation takes place spontaneously, without any need to correct the must. So we take over our terroir - with a minimalist wine in our cellar. Vinification in a cement vat with pre- and post-fermentative maceration. Aging for 18 months in oak barrels. It presents an opaque red color, aroma of red fruits with spicy notes. Full-bodied, fresh and elegant with a long and persistent finish. Contains sulfites.
Quinta do Crasto Reserva Vinhas Velhas Red

After a complete destemming and a slight crushing, the must was transferred to fermentation vats in stainless steel with controlled temperature.

In the mouth it presents an elegant beginning, evolving into a wine of excellent volume and solid structure, where we find tannins with a complex texture.

Quinta do Crasto Vintage 2015 Ruby
Quinta do Crasto Porto Vintage 2015 aged in Portuguese oak barrels, where it remained for about 2 years. It was bottled, without any bonding or filtration, being subject to creating a slight deposit during its aging in the bottle. The grapes, from Vinhas Velhas, were transported in food plastic boxes and subjected to a rigorous sorting at the entrance of the cellar. After a gentle crushing without destemming, they were sent to a traditional stone press where they were stepped on by men at regular intervals. Subsequently, wine spirit was added, thus stopping fermentation. Opaque color, excellent concentration and aromatic depth, where you can highlight the expressive notes of ripe wild fruits, fresh rockrose and mild spice. In the mouth it has an elegant beginning, progressively evolved into a wine of great volume and concentration, composed of fresh tannins with a firm and very compact texture. It finishes fresh, very long and elegant, with a notable aromatic explosion of very ripe wild fruits, in perfect harmony with rockrose notes. Everything in perfect balance, which provides a high potential for aging in the bottle. Contains sulfites.
