Quinta do Crasto Douro Tinto 2018

"A ruby-colored wine, with purple nuances. It has an intense and complex bouquet, with hints of black and red fruit and some tree fruits, combined with a heather and resin balsamic aroma, cocoa and chocolate. In the palate, it has a good volume, rounded tannins and well-integrated acidity. Hints of red fruits and light cocoa stand out in the flavor. The finish is long and quite elegant." —winemaker

"Intense garnet color. Great concentration of black fruit, eucalyptus leaves and some notes of spices from aging in the barrels.  Full bodied, with velvety tannins." —winemaker

"A deeply coloured garnet wine with a complex aroma of ripe fruit and a touch of jam, plums and vanilla. Upon tasting it’s a full-bodied, bold, smooth wine. Round and firm, it has a long lasting finish." —winemaker

Blend: Aragonez, Alicante Bouschet, Trincadeira, Tinta Caiada

"Red coloured wine, with average depth, showing signs of evolution; good aromatic richness with noticeable aromatic progress of floral notes of violet and red berries, a hint of green pepper, provided by one of the varieties in the blend, leads to a spicy aromatic finish. Medium to fully-bodied wine, expertly framed by well-developed tannins, combined with good acidity and ripe fruit; delivers a delicate, sharp finish." —winemaker

"Clear ruby color. Aromas of ripe red berry fruits with dry vegetable notes, complex and subtle. Fresh and elegant on the palate, good balance and structure." —winemaker

Blend: 40% Aragonez, 35% Trincadeira, 20% Touriga Nacional, 5% Syrah

"The José de Sousa Rosado Fernandes Cellar was founded in 1878 and was purchased by José Maria da Fonseca in 1986, fulfilling an old dream of producing wine in Alentejo, in an estate full of prestige and history. The estate is located in Reguengos de Monsaraz, and it is here that a 2.000 year old Roman tradition is kept alive. The José de Sousa Cellar owns 114 ceramic amphorae in which an ancient fermentation method takes place. Dark red with some depth, the Jose de Sousa shows aromas of dates, chocolate, oak, some vanilla, fig, and spices. On the palate, the wine is fruity, velvety, with good tannins, some complexity and a good acidity." —winemaker
