Quinta do Crasto Superior Branco 2015
Douro Superior, Douro Valley, Northern Portugal, PortugalViosinho and verdelho from the Douro Superior spent six months of battonage time on the oxoline, with 60 percent new wood and 15 percent headed with acacia barrel tops. The affect is certainly felt in this full bodied, powerful white. Herbal, waxy acacia lines the creamy body, with lemon curd, thick lees and cloves. A welcome, strong and fine backbone of acidity helps keep this voluminous wine from overwhelming at this young stage.Tasted: 06 February 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| Portugal | $20.00 | 750ml |
