This has a tantalisingly Burgundian nose of creamy French oak, citrus, peach, ripe pear, juicy pineapple and ghee. The palate shows fabulous, exciting balance, with crispness, freshness, richness, a hint of caramelised banana and superb concentration. From Crasto's Quinta da Cabreira on schist and granite soil in the Douro Superior, this is made from Verdelho and Viosinho grapes, matured for six months in French oak barriques.

Winemaking
Douro Superior grapes are boxed, inspected, destemmed and pressed. The must decanted for 48 hours at 8°C before fermenting in stainless steel, then French oak for 45 days at 14°C. The wine is aged 6 months in 50% new and 50% used French Oak barrels, of which 15% have acacia heads. The barrels are then rotated on rollers for oxygen-free lees stirring.
