Tasting notes
Deep purple in colour, this wine shows intense aromas of wild berry fruit in harmony with delicate
notes of spice. Excellent volume on the palate, with a serious structure composed of fine-textured,
lingering tannins. The finish is fresh and persistent. This is an enveloping wine that perfectly mirrors
the typicity of the Touriga Franca grape variety.
Serve at a temperature between 16 and 18 degrees celcius.
Vinification
The grapes, coming from the best Touriga Franca plots of Quinta do Crasto, are taken to the winery
in 22 kg plastic boxes and rigorously inspected on arrival. The grapes are then completely
destemmed and slightly crushed. Aer this, the juice is transferred to temperature-controlled
stainless steel tanks. Once the alcoholic fermentation is completed, the grape are gently pressed.
