Quinta Do Crasto 6 Litros Tinto

Description

Quinta Do Crasto Tinto 6 Litres is a red wine from the Douro, Portugal, produced by Quinta do Crasto. The winemaking is overseen by Manuel Lobo. It is a blend of Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca and Touriga Franca grapes. Vintage 2022. Quinta do Crasto Winemaking of Crasto Tinto: the grapes are harvested and transported in 22 kg crates, then subjected to rigorous sorting upon arrival at the winery. They are destemmed, crushed and transferred to stainless steel fermentation tanks, where they ferment at a controlled temperature for 7 days. It shows an intense ruby colour. The aroma is of very ripe red fruit. On the palate, the fruit is well present, with good structure and soft tannins, making it a very pleasant wine. It pairs well with grilled red meats, roast kid goat and aged cheeses. Serve at 16–18 °C. At 13% vol., it comes in a 6 L bottle. To get the most out of this red, open the bottle a few minutes before serving and pour it into a wide-bowled glass, which allows the aromas to breathe. For younger, more concentrated wines, a brief decanting helps soften the tannins. Store the bottle on its side, in a cool, dark place free from temperature fluctuations. Once opened, reseal the bottle and keep it in the refrigerator to preserve the aromas.
