Quinta do Crasto has mastered the art of making red Douro table wine a thing of beauty

Quinta Do Crasto, Douro Red 2012

We had a fantastic Crasto tasting this week - it was a real treat at every level. But my wine of the week was their Douro Red and I will borrow Oz Clarke to tell you about who writes it up much better than I ever could:

"Quinta do Crasto has mastered the art of making red Douro table wine a thing of beauty, while its neighbours continue to overcomplicate and over-oak the stuff. This is an utter delight: scented with jasmine, bulging with ripe black plums, mulberry and blueberry fruit with the merest tug of chewy tannin, and as you swallow, back comes the jasmine."
