Quinta Do Crasto Douro Blanco 2023 - 750ml

90pts James Suckling

Nervy, lightly minerally and floral nose with white fruit and lemon zest. Fresh, supple acidity on the medium-bodied palate, with an elegant, medium-length finish. Not complex, but well balanced. Drink now.

90pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The very young and slightly reductive 2023 Branco was produced with a blend of 40% Viosinho, 30% Gouveio and 30% Rabigato from high-altitude vines on granite soils. In 2023, it achieved higher ripeness, more development of aromas and flavors and 12.5% alcohol. It's balsamic and has notes of bay leaf and white fruit, and it has a round and soft palate with a bitter twist in the finish. 129,600 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2024.

Tasting Notes

Pale lemon in colour. Expressive and complex on the nose, showing fresh citrus fruit aromas and elegant hints of orange blossom. The palate reflects the essence of the region's high-altitude vineyards, showing vibrant freshness, excellent volume and elegant texture, with notes of minerality standing out. The finish is engaging, fresh and persistent.
