WINE DESCRIPTION

Quinta do Crasto Tinta Roriz is a red wine produced by Quinta do Crasto, a renowned winery located in the Douro Valley region of Portugal. The wine is made from the Tinta Roriz grape variety, which is known for its rich and complex flavors. The vineyards where the grapes are grown are situated on steep slopes, which provide excellent drainage and exposure to the sun. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of oak. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate a bold and flavorful red wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Quinta do Crasto Tinta Roriz is an exceptional red wine that captivates the senses with its vibrant character.On the nose, enticing aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, mingle with subtle hints of spices and floral notes. The palate is beautifully balanced, showcasing the grape's inherent elegance and structure. Silky tannins and a refreshing acidity harmoniously blend with flavors of plum, blackberry, and a touch of oak. This wine pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews.

ORIGINS

Winery: Quinta do Crasto

Region: Douro

The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines. The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.
