Oscar Quevedo

The red Quinta do Crasto Reserva Old Vines 2005 ranks in #3 with 95 points from the magazine. This is definitively an extraordinary prize for this dedicated family. But are also amazing news for the Portuguese wines, and mainly for the Douro wines, which year after year are more and more known and recognized by the world wine experts.

From Quevedo we would like to congratulate the winemaking team, which includes Manuel Lobo, Dominic Morris and Tomás Roquette and say thank you to put the name of Portugal in so recognized list! www.quevedoportwine.com
