Quinta do Crasto is one of the Douro Valley's most celebrated quintas — a dramatic estate perched above the river where Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz grow in the schist soils that define great Port. We buy directly from the Roquette family, one of Portugal's most admired wine dynasties, known for their wines across both Port and Douro table wine.
This Late Bottled Vintage Port combines the richness and complexity of a single vintage with the approachability of bottle-ready fruit. Deep ruby with a nose of dried cherry, dark plum, bitter chocolate, and a hint of coffee. The palate is rich and concentrated with fine tannins and a long, warming finish. Perfect with dark chocolate, blue cheese, or a good Stilton.

Miguel Roquette
The Duoro Valley in Portugal is one of the most improbable regions for grape growing in the wold. Sheer cliffs overlook the sleepy river as it cuts its way from Spain to the Atlantic and soils of crumbling, flaky schist withstand tortuously hot summers and skin-cracking winters. But clinging to the valley sides, at gasp-inducing angles, is the stunning vineyard of the Quinta do Crasto run by brothers Miguel and Tomas Roquette. The vineyard sits high-up on the northern side of the Douro, thus at a southerly aspect to the sun. The wines from just across the river tend to be more tannic and austere due to poorer sunlight, while the Crasto brother’s wines are deeper, fruitier and much more intense. This is why we visit any new vineyards that we work with. It is just so important to witness all those particulars that conspire to make a plot remarkable rather than just acceptable.
