Quinta do Crasto Vinha da Ponte 2018

€ 250.00

Vinha da Ponte is a limited edition. It is only bottled in years when the wine reaches a high level of quality.

The color is opaque with dark purple hues. This red wine has a rich and intense aroma of fresh berries, some floral notes and hints of fresh herbs. The taste is fascinating and elegant in the beginning, later the wine becomes full and powerful, the tannins are perfectly balanced. A long, balanced and fruity aftertaste.

A charming, eye-catching wine that will evolve even further in the bottle.

Food pairing

Excellent wine for hearty meals with red grilled or roast meat, lamb and game dishes. This is also a wine with which you can perfectly finish a meal.

Produced from 100-year-old vines, this wine is both dense and beautifully structured. Dark tannins float over the black fruits, giving richness and layered acidity. The wine's power is finally tamed by fragrant freshness at the end. Drink from 2025. Roger Voss
