Estate
Crasto 10 Year Old Tawny Porto is an aged tawny Porto that has been matured in Portuguese oak
vats for an average of 10 years. Made from selected Port wines from our best vineyards, this
blend oers great complexity given by the older wines, with the younger wines bringing fresh
fruit flavours and lively acidity.
Terroir
Porto / Port.
Vinification
The grapes, coming from Old Vines, are taken to the winery in plastic boxes and undergo strict
selection on arrival. On arrival in the winery they are rigorously inspected on a sorting table. The
grapes with their stems are then slightly crushed and transferred to a traditional stone tank
("lagar") where they are foot trodden. Aer this, the grape spirit is added to stop the
fermentation and fortify the wine.
Ageing
In Portuguese oak vats.

so fine spices. On the palate it is fresh and perfectly balanced. The finish is delicate, elegant and
persistent.
