Wine description | Deep violet. Very complex on the nose with fresh berry fruit notes and elegant hints of violet and spice. Elegant start that leads to a well-structured wine, with fine-textured tannins. Flavours of berry fruit nicely combined with delicate notes of violet. Solid, fresh and lingering finish. |
When Portugal’s Quinta do Crasto teams up with Bordeaux’s famed Château Lynch-Bages, magic is inevitable. Winemakers Daniel Llose and Manuel Lobo hand-select and harvest Douro grapes, marrying the valley’s bold, sun-drenched character with Bordeaux’s elegance and finesse. The result? A red that’s rich, balanced, and irresistibly drinkable. Vivino fans can’t get enough: "Amazing Douro wine, these regular favorites never let you down and always surprise you!" – Marcos.
This is the kind of cross-continental collaboration that makes wine lovers swoon.

Douro Red wines range in style from light and fruity to lush and smooth to dark and dense with flavors of mature dark fruit, with herbal and schist.
The wines are often and inky purple due to the thickening of the skins from the intense summer heat of the region.
Most of the best made reds from the region come from the larger port houses where the skill of the winemakers go back for generations....
