Tasting Notes
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Constantino de Almeida’s acquisition of Quinta do Crasto, a remarkable blend was created for the first time.
This exceptional wine boasts an intensely aromatic nose, layered with gum cistus, delicate spices, and fresh wild berries. The palate opens with elegance before building in intensity, revealing remarkable volume and a finely structured tannic core. Subtle echoes of wild berry fruit enhance its depth, leading to a fresh, persistent finish. Complex and distinctive, this wine will continue to evolve beautifully with bottle aging.

Vinification and Aging
Honore 2015 is a unique wine that unites Quinta do Crasto’s two most iconic vineyards. This exceptional blend consists of 71.2% Vinha Maria Teresa and 28.8% Vinha da Ponte, both from the 2015 vintage.
Hand-harvested grapes were carefully selected, destemmed, and traditionally foot-trodden in stone lagares before fermenting in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the juice was gently pressed to preserve its purity.
In tribute to four centuries of Quinta do Crasto’s history (1615–2015), only 1,615 individually numbered magnums were bottled.
Aging : 20 months in new oak barrels

Terroir
Age of Vines : Centenary vines.
The 2015 vintage benefited from a dry yet well-balanced season, with timely rainfall ensuring optimal vine health. Warm days and cool nights in July and August contributed to exceptional grape ripening. As a result, Vinha da Ponte and Vinha Maria Teresa produced wines of remarkable depth, vibrant freshness, and refined elegance.
