Quinta do Crasto 10 Year Old Port 75cl
Description
Designation of Origin: Port
Grape Varieties: Old Vines - Field Blend
Winemaking:
The grapes, sourced from old vines, were transported in plastic food crates and subjected to rigorous sorting upon arrival at the winery. After gentle crushing without destemming, they were sent to a traditional lagar (wine press) where they were foot-trodden by men at regular intervals. Subsequently, grape brandy was added, thus stopping fermentation.
