QUINTA DO CRASTO Douro Reserva, 6x75cl

🇵🇹 Quinta do Crasto, Douro Reserva
Country: Portugal | Region: Douro Valley
Grapes: Traditional Douro varieties
Style: Red Wine

🍇 Powerful, Polished, and Deeply Expressive
From ancient terraces in the heart of the Douro, this Reserva is a bold yet elegant expression of Portugal’s native grapes—richly fruited, oak-kissed, and full of character.

🍷 In the Glass
Brick red with garnet reflections, hinting at depth and maturity.

👃 On the Nose
Aromatic and complex, with layers of cigar box, tobacco leaf, and cedar weaving through dark berry compote, ripe plum, and warming spice. Touches of vanilla and toasted oak add refinement.

🍽 On the Palate
Generous and full-bodied, packed with ripe Douro fruits—blackberry, damson, and blueberry—balanced by integrated oak, silky tannins, and a long, harmonious finish. Rich yet impeccably structured.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast lamb, braised beef, grilled steak, or hearty Portuguese dishes like feijoada. Also a stunning match for aged cheeses.

⏳ Ageing Potential
Drinks beautifully now but has the structure to age 8–10 years, developing savoury complexity and silky depth.

💫 Why You’ll Love It
This is Douro red at its finest—intensely flavoured, wonderfully balanced, and unmistakably sophisticated. A cellar-worthy bottle that impresses from the first sip to the last.
