Since its first edition in 1998, ‘Quinta do Crasto Vinha Maria Teresa’ has conquered the status of one of the great Portuguese wines, having received top reviews in the national and international press over recent years, Quinta do Crasto pointed out in the wine press release.
Originating exclusively from the vineyard Maria Teresa, the century-old vineyard that gives it its name and one of the oldest of Quinta do Crasto, planted at extremely low levels and with an excellent sun exposure, this “single vineyard” wine is a Douro DOC red wine super premium range that is only bottled in years of exceptional quality and always in very limited quantities.
‘Quinta do Crasto Vinha Maria Teresa’ was only produced in the years 1998, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013.
