Deep ruby ​​in color, it impresses on the nose with its extraordinary complexity and aromatic freshness, where elegant notes of rockrose, wild Douro berries, and spice stand out. On the palate, it begins compactly, evolving into a very seductive wine, where we find smooth tannins in perfect harmony with retronasal notes reminiscent of fresh forest aromas. It finishes in a very enveloping way, in perfect balance and with excellent persistence. A unique wine that expresses the full identity of the century-old Maria Teresa vineyard.

Located on the right bank of the Douro River, between Régua and Pinhão, Quinta do Crasto is a property of approximately 130 hectares, of which 70 are occupied by vineyards. The company's assets also include Quinta do Querindelo, with 10 hectares of old vines, and Quinta da Cabreira, in the Upper Douro, with 114 hectares of vineyards.

With a privileged location in the Douro Demarcated Region, Quinta do Crasto has been owned by the family of Leonor and Jorge Roquette for over a century. As is often the case with the great Quintas of the Douro, the origin of Quinta do Crasto dates back to ancient times - the name Crasto derives from the Latin "castrum", which means Roman fort.
