V.Porto Qta do Crasto Colheita 2003 Vinho do Porto

Denomination of Origin Porto Wine Year The 2003 wine year was characterized by a winter with good levels of precipitation and a dry spring. Temperatures were normal for the season except at the end of July and beginning of August where very high temperatures were recorded, reaching 45º C during the day, and with nights also quite hot. These conditions resulted in full-bodied wines with tannins that give them good aging potential.

Variety regular. Wine brandy was later added to it, thus stopping fermentation.

Aging in 550 liter national oak barrels for 18 years. It was bottled without any filtration and is subject to a slight deposit in the bottle.

Tasting Note Bright amber color, with excellent aromatic intensity, where you can find notes reminiscent of honey, orange peel and soft dried fruits. It evolves in the mouth test into a wine with excellent concentration, volume and structure, composed of fine-textured tannins. A seductive wine, which ends complex and very persistent.
