Quinta do Crasto launches new edition of the iconic Vinha da Ponte 2019

Quinta do Crasto, one of the references in the Douro, announces the latest edition of its prestigious Vinha da Ponte 2019 wine, the twelfth production of this exceptional single-vineyard, which remains a symbol of quality, patience and consistency.

Vinha da Ponte, with just 1.96 hectares, stands out for its century-old, vigorous and resilient character, located in an area inspired by a historic Roman bridge that crosses the property. Producing this icon wine is an exercise in precision, selecting only the years of excellence that really do justice to its terroir. Since the first edition in 1998, only 11 vintages have followed, making Vinha da Ponte 2019 even more exclusive.

The year 2019 brought climatic challenges, such as prolonged periods of drought, requiring meticulous work on the part of the viticulture and oenology team. However, Vinha da Ponte surprised us by offering high quality grapes and higher production than in previous years.

This unique wine aged for 20 months in new French oak barrels, with the final blend resulting from the rigorous selection of the best barrels. It is opaque, with vibrant violet tones, revealing a complex and elegant profile. In the mouth, it stands out for its volume, solid tannins and long finish, reflecting all the authenticity of its terroir.

Quinta do Crasto Vinha da Ponte 2019 is now available in selected wine shops in Portugal, with a recommended retail price of €255, and is distributed by Heritage Wines. For more information, please visit the official websites: www.quintadocrasto.pt / www.heritagewines.pt
