Tasting note
The wine is amber in colour and offers excellent aroma complexity, with notes of honey, figs and some fine spices. On the palate it is fresh and perfectly balanced. The finish is delicate, elegant and persistent.
Viticulture
Crasto 10 Year Old is an aged tawny Port that has been matured in Portuguese oak vats for an average of 10 years. Made from selected Port wines from our best vineyards, this blend offers great complexity given by the older wines, with the younger wines bringing fresh fruit flavours and lively acidity.
Vinification
Old-vine grapes arrive at the winery in plastic boxes and are rigorously selected on a sorting table. With stems intact, they are lightly crushed, then transferred to a traditional stone tank (lagar) for foot treading. Grape spirit is then added to stop fermentation and fortify the wine.
