The 2016 Vinha Maria Teresa, a field blend from centenarian vines, was aged for 20 months in new oak (90% French, 10% American). It comes in at 14.5% alcohol. This was not tasted with the 2015 this issue, but both were in relatively close proximity. For the moment, this seems more spectacular. With wines at this level, only the future will tell us what the ultimate answer is, but this seems on track to be one of Crasto's greatest Maria Teresas, which also means it might be one of its greatest wines ever.
