Quinta do Crasto Flor de Crasto 2021 White

€ 9.20

Chances are you haven't heard of any of the grapes used in this Portuguese white wine, but this blend of Viosinho, Codega and Rabigato grapes is definitely worth exploring. Pale lemon in colour. Very fresh on the nose, showing vibrant aromas of tropical fruit reminiscent of passion fruit and light notes of orange blossom. The palate is balance and has good volume. An engaging wine with a fresh and elegant finish.

Food pairing

Great as an aperitif with a goat cheese salad, salmon risotto or grilled fish or sardines.

Grapes: Moscatel Galego, Códega do Larinho, Rabigato

The grapes, chosen from selected plots, are transported to the winery in 22 kg plastic boxes. On arrival in the winery they are rigorously inspected on a sorting table. The grapes are then destemmed and pressed. The must is transferred to stainless steel vats where it remains for 48 hours at 8ºC for decanting. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 14ºC for 30 days.

Aged in stainless steel vats.
