  Tasty

  A good all rounder, nose and body. Good change from our usual claret. Am enjoying with an unpasteurised cheddar.

  Disapointing

  So fruity it's almost Ribena-like, length on the short side

  Portuguese Pleaser

  I've been a fan of Portugals reds for a while. This wine is consistently excellent. I've seen it outclass plenty of decent clarets at dinner parties.

  Wonderful Portuguese Red

  I'm so glad we tried this wine! It is simply delicious and a complete steal at £7.99 a bottle. I'll definitely be back for more of this little gem!

  CRASTO 2008 RED

  THIS PORTUGUESE DOURO RED IS COPIOUSLY FRUITY AND SUMPTUOUS WITH SWATHES OF RED FRUITS DELIVERING INCREDIBLE INTENSITY .COMPARES WELL WITH A GRAND CRU CHAMBERTIN 2005..

  Luscious Portuguese Red Wine

  You will not find a tastier Red wine anywhere at under £8.00. Bursting with the aromas and tastes of freshly picked berries. One of Portugals best kept secrets. Ypu will be amazed by its quality.

Press Reviews

• • Sunday Express

  A beautifully ripe, supple, fresh introduction to Douro reds (2010 Vintage)

  "One of the wine world’s great bargains, this is a beautifully ripe, supple, fresh introduction to Douro reds, with precise cherry and berry fruit. It’s hard to believe this doesn’t cost much more. (Jamie Goode, Sunday Express – 100 Best Red Wines under £10, 17th March 2013)"

• • The Times

  Sensational, herby, spiced sloe and damson fruit (2011 Vintage)

  "Dating back to 1615, Crasto makes a range of seductive wines. Even this humble red delivers sensational, herby, spiced sloe and damson fruit. (Jane MacQuitty, The Times, 2nd March 2013)"

• • Observer

  a good alternative for Aussie shiraz (2009 Vintage)

  "This fine old producer does a brilliant job of making Douro wines and ports at accessible prices, both in supermarket own-label wines and in this boldly fruit-driven red. The tannins are considerably softer than your average Douro red, making it a good alternative for Aussie shiraz. (David Williams, Observer, 19th February 2012)"

• • Independent

  fine balancing freshness (2009 Vintage)

  "Wonderfully aromatic and fresh Douro blend of the major Port varieties with succulent and deliciously exuberant dark-cherry and damson-plum fruit quality and a fine balancing freshness. (Anthony Rose, Independent, 11th February 2012)"

• • Jane MacQuitty
  • Saturday Times

  "Gorgeous sloe and Victoria plum-packed, turbo-charged red made from a hotchpotch of Douro grapes."
