Tasting notes:
Strong ruby color.
On the nose it impresses with its extraordinary complexity and aromatic freshness, where notes of elegant cistus, Douro wild fruits and spices stand out.
On the palate it begins compactly, evolving into a very seductive wine, where soft-textured tannins are found in perfect harmony with retronasal notes that recall fresh aromas of forests from the Douro region. A unique wine that shows the entire identity of the centuries-old Vinha Maria Teresa.

The events and vicissitudes that brought the Crasto brand through time should be highlighted, passing through the Pombalina Company, through the liberalization and market regulation movements, through the plagues of the 19th century, powdery mildew, mildew and phylloxera.

For the foundation of Casa do Douro and the Porto Wine Institute, for the 1974 revolution and for joining the European Union (at the time European Economic Community).
All this history passed through the Quinta. But she didn’t stay passive, she was part of this whole story.

Its owners or farmers took care of its development, its projection into foreign trade and the innovation of its working methods.
