Emanating from vines grown in Northern Portugal's Douro region, it exhibits a vibrant, straw-yellow hue.

On the palate, a captivating freshness pairs wonderfully with its well-moulded acidity, giving it a balanced, complex profile. Highlighting flavours of ripe apple and pear, this full-bodied wine possesses an impressively persistent finish. Matured in French oak barrels, the Quinta do Crasto Crasto Superior is an exquisite accompaniment to select seafood dishes.
