Quinta do Crasto

Douro Valley Situated on the right bank of the river Douro, half way between Regua and Pinhao, Quinta do Crasto has been owned by the Almeida family since 1910. Originally the quinta sold all its wines to shippers until Jorge Roquette took over responsibility after marrying into the family, and ploughed great finance and effort into modernising the vineyards and winery. Continued investments have been made at Quinta do Crasto over the last few years to restructure the vineyards and install modern winery equipment, guaranteeing the production of high quality table wines, such as the Quinta do Crasto Douro Red, Quinta do Crasto Douro Reserva Old Vines, single variety wines (100 % Touriga Nacional and 100% Tinta Roriz) and single vineyard wines (Vinha da Ponte and Vinha Maria Teresa), as well as top port wine categories such as Late Bottled Vintage and Vintage Port. While using state-of-the-art vinification technology, the quinta has always retained its traditional foot treading method in granite tanks, called “lagares”. All the investments made in the past combined with the tradition and passion that is put into the wine making, has given Quinta do Crasto a prominent name in the Portuguese wine market.
