Description: QUINTA DO CRASTO COLHEITA Porto 2005 viticultural year was characterised by an extremely cold and dry winter. Rainfall levels during spring were low and insufficient to replenish the water reserves in the soil, which were already scarce. The summer was marked by three heat waves (June, July and the first week of August) that caused a significant degree of stress on the vines, with premature loss of leaves in some varieties. The drought was alleviated by heavy rainfall that occurred at the beginning of September, which allowed a complete and well-balanced ripening of the grapes. Ages in Portuguese oak barrels of 550 litres for about 18 years. Bottled without fining or filtration; a light sediment may form in the bottle over time.
