Quinta do Crasto Reserva Vinhas Velhas Red
Quinta do Crasto Reserve Old Vines aged in French oak barrels (85%) and American oak barrels (15%), where it remained for about 18 months. The grapes from Vinhas Velhas were transported in boxes of 22 kg capacity and subjected to rigorous sorting on a table of choice at the entrance to the cellar.

Blog Alicante Bouschet e Syrah 3L Red
In 2015 we enjoyed long and slow maturations that our older strains and our best plots have taken advantage of to provide grapes with an exemplary balance between acidity and tannins. The two grape varieties that benefited most with the exceptional goodness of nature were Syrah and Alicante Bouschet, providing grapes in perfect maturity. With raw material so good we prefer to work them little, letting the grapes speak for themselves. That's why we did little more than one walk on our wineries, according to the most traditional methods of the region, followed by a stage in new barrels and barrels of second year of French oak, letting the wine express itself in the purest form . Very fleshy red color. Tense and closed, concentrated and powerful, floral and fruity, it ends with some earthy notes that add complexity. Silky and velvety in texture, it is an intense and structured red, vigorous but not aggressive, complex and elegant, fresh finish and great guarding potential. Contains Sulfites.
