Tasting note
Garnet in colour. Expressive aromas of red fruits, perfectly balanced with delicate forest and fine spice aromas. This is a wine that embodies all the freshness and elegance that the Tinta Francisca and Touriga Nacional grapes deliver when planted at an altitude of 430 metres, with a north facing aspect. Seductive and moreish with a fresh, elegant finish.
Viticulture
From a north-facing Douro Superior vineyard at 430m, Crasto grows Tinta Francisca with small leaves that slow sugar ripening and thin skins yielding light color and tannin. Blended with Touriga Nacional for spice and depth, this high-altitude site enables balanced, lighter-bodied wines with freshness and complexity.
Vinification
The grapes are completely destemmed with only a light crushing. Fermentation is in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks for 4 days in contact with the grape skins, with very gentle extraction. After pressing it is transferred to wooden barrels to complete fermentation.
