Quinta do Crasto Reserva Vinhas Velhas 2021

Quinta do Crasto · Field blend of 25–30 varieties

Why I like it: Old vines, 94 Parker points and a 4.3 on Vivino. It's one for a special occasion, and you'll need to be quick because there's only one bottle left.

Tasting notes

According to Bodeboca: vines about 70 years old on terraces at 120–450 m, planted with 25–30 interplanted varieties; 18 months in oak (85% French, 15% American), bottled in July 2023 and able to age to about 2041. 94 Parker. 14% ABV. Vivino: 4.3 (checked 28/10/2026).

Pairing

Red meat, game and aged cheeses.
