    This document summarizes a 2016 white wine from Quinta do Crasto in the Douro Valley of Portugal. The wine is made from Rabigato, Códega do Larinho and Viosinho grapes grown on terraced vineyards with over 20 year old vines. The grapes were harvested by hand and underwent a gentle pressing and fermentation process in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures for 30 days before being aged in steel. The finished wine has bright lemon color, tropical fruit and floral aromas, and a well-balanced medium-bodied palate with hints of minerality.
