Description
In order to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the purchase of Quinta do Crasto by Constantino de Almeira, for the first time, a singular blend was prepared. Honore 2015 is a unique wine that brings together the two most emblematic vineyards of Quinta do Crasto. This exceptional blend is made up 71.2% of wine from Vinha Maria Teresa and 28.8% of wine of Vinha da Ponte, both from 2015.
Taste
On the palate, it begins elegantly then gains in intensity. This is a wine with excellent volume and a compact structure made of finely-textured tannins wrapped in retronasal notes of wild berry fruit. The finish is fresh and persistent. This memorable wine is impressive in its complexity and its unique identity and it will benefit from bottle ageing.
Vinification
The grapes were taken to the winery in 22 kg plastic boxes and after a rigorous selection on a sorting table, they were completely destemmed and trodden in a traditional stone tank (lagar). The juice was then transferred to temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Once the alcoholic fermentation was completed, the juice was gently pressed out. Just 1615 numbered magnums were bottled in homage to the four centuries of the history of Quinta do Crasto (1615-2015).
Aging
20 months in new oak barrels
