Quinta do Crasto LBV Port

Fine tannins form a trellis supporting wild blackberries and other wild fruit, while a waft of cacao supplies welcome savouriness and balance.

The grapes from old vines were taken to the winery in plastic boxes. On arrival in the winery they were rigorously inspected on a sorting table. The grapes with their stems were then slightly crushed and transferred to a traditional stone tank (“lagar”) where they were foot trodden. After this, the grape spirit was added to stop the fermentation and fortify the wine. Ageing 4 years in large oak vats (9000 litres). Bottled without fining or filtration; a light sediment may form in the bottle over time.

LBV Ports are the ideal partner for a cheeseboard, chocolate dessert, or even an intense Port wine reduction. Full-flavoured cheeses such as a good farmhouse Cheddar or Red Leicester. A rich chocolate pot or chocolate brownie accompanied with some red berries
