Quinta do Crasto Touriga Nacional

Why is one wine better than another? It starts in the vineyard. The quality of the grapes determines how good the wine can be. Then the talent and experience of the winemaker are decisive. The grapes are doing well here. These are the best Touriga Nacional grapes from Quinta do Crasto. The winemaker is called Jean-Michel Cazes. Not bad either. He is also winemaker at Chateau Lynch-Bages. The wine was left to mature for eighteen months in new oak.

Expressive, slightly smoky aroma of cherry jam, blackberries and spices. Intense and generous fruit of black cherries and blackberries that can easily handle the wood aging. Sal ammoniac, black pepper and a velvety mouthfeel. Very concentrated but its fresh raspberry acidity keeps it drinkable. More than that: every sip begs for the next.
