Quinta Do Crasto, Vinha da Ponte, 2018

Vinha da Ponte is one of the best wines in the entire Douro region. Like its sister wine, Vinha Maria Teresa, it takes its name from a centenary plot of vines, and is only made in years of exceptional quality. Rarely are more than 4,000 bottles produced. This is a distinctive wine, with rich and intense aromas of ripe fruit that stand out elegantly over the notes of oak. It is powerful and elegant on the palate and finishes with great balance and persistence, ensuring its development in the bottle for years to come. One of the most emblematic wines of the historic Quinta do Crasto, Vinha da Ponte has only been produced in 1998, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018, and it fully lives up to the fame of these exceptional vintages.
