Quinta do Crasto.

Breaking news. Sorry, I have yet to see this in English as of yet. But you can always use a translator:

A bit of a soapbox/tangent/whatever. But I’ll be that guy…Crasto messed up really big, at least here in the states. We all loved them, talked about how good they were, bought them, etc. then they went “corporate” so to speak, switched importers here to sell more in restaurants (bad move just before Covid kicked in), as a result I can’t find them anymore at retail around me and largely don’t care anymore because they obviously don’t care about their long term customers who helped them get where they are. Just look at how there is now almost no posts about their current wines/Ports on the forum, it’s telling.

More power to them, I hope they do well.

As for the Quinta, a very beautiful place. But it’s a long drive from Pinhao/Regua, so not geographically desirable unless staying there and not traveling far from it (the Quinta next door has same issue…beautiful and very lovely but so far out of the way is a big down side).
