Foot trodden in stone lagares in the traditional manner, Quinta do Crasto only 'declares' a vintage Port when there is sufficient wine of outstanding quality.
Wine from the older vineyards usually forms the backbone of the blend.
Vintage Ports are bottled without filtration after spending around two years ageing in cask.
The wines continue to age in bottle for up to fifty years, gaining depth and complexity.
Like all wines which throw a sediment, they should be decanted before serving.
