Posted: 14:28 Wed 01 Jul 2009
Yet another wonderful visit, hosted by Miguel Roquette whose family own this beautiful estate. Miguel's passion for the wines cannot be understated and he was a great host providing us with a tour, a great tasting of the Crasto wines and fabulous food accompanied by more wines and Ports. Such hospitality is astonishing and I can't thank Miguel enough for doing this for us.
The wines:
Crasto Douro Red 2007
Crasto Douro Red 2008
Crasto Reserva 2007
Crasto Reserva 2006
Maria Teresa 2007
Vinha do Ponte 2007
Crasto White (somebody help me here)
Quinta do Crasto Vintage Port 2000
Quinta do Crasto Vintage Port 2003
Quinta do Crasto Vintage Port 2004
Quinta do Crasto Vintage Port 2005
Quinta do Crasto LBV Port 2005
Quinta do Crasto Vintage Port 1987
Quinta do Crasto Coheita Port 1970
Quinta do Crasto Vintage Port 2004
Constatino Vintage Port 1941
Please help me out if I've missed anything - don't think so, but the name of the white would be helpful.
Overall we came away from Crasto extremely happy but also incredibly impressed by the standard of wines. I'd never had the Maria Teresa or Vinha do Ponte before, a mistake I will not be repeating as I now know how to get it. Adnam's, here I come.
Once again, thank you to Miguel and all at Quinta do Crasto, a superb visit.
