Since its first edition, in 1998, the Quinta do Crasto Vinha Maria Teresa wine has already won the status of one of the great Portuguese wines, having received the greatest recognitions in the national and international press over the past few years.

Coming solely from the Maria Teresa Vinha, the centenary vineyard that gives it its name and one of the oldest in Quinta do Crasto, cultivated at extremely low quotas and with excellent sun exposure, This “monovinha” wine is a Douro DOC red wine of super premium range that is just bottled in years of exceptional quality and always in very limited quantities.

With a charged ruby color, it impresses on the nose with its extraordinary complexity and aromatic freshness, where elegant notes of stevas, wild fruits of the Douro and spice stand out. In the mouth test he starts in a compact way, evolving into a very seductive wine, where it is possible to find tannins with a soft texture in perfect harmony with retronasal notes that resemble fresh aromas of the Douro forest.

A unique wine that shows the entire identity of the centenary Vinha Maria Teresa. It ends very engagingly, in perfect balance and with excellent persistence.

Robert Parker: 98/100
