Quinta do Crasto

Quinta do Crasto, S.A. is a Portuguese company dedicated to Douro and Port wine production and which received Portuguese SME Leader status in 2015. Its headquarters is in Gouvinhas, in the municipality of Sabrosa in Northern Portugal. This is the heart of the Douro Valley, the first demarcated and regulated wine region in the world, recognised as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2001. Quinta do Crasto benefits from exceptional conditions for producing wines and olive oils of the highest possible quality.Each year, Quinta do Crasto produces 1,400,000 bottles of Douro and Port wines. Twenty-five per cent is sold domestically and the rest is exported to around 40 markets worldwide, on all continents. The last three years have witnessed the launch of one new wine per year. Crasto Superior Branco, a Douro DOC wine, came out in 2014, and Crasto Superior Syrah, a Regional Duriense wine, in 2015 – both were the fruit of innovation and were crafted to conquer new international markets. A new Port wine is planned to be released this year. In addition to wines, Quinta do Crasto also produces 45,000 bottles of extra virgin olive oil yearly from its own organic groves in the area of Cima Corgo and Douro Superior. Quinta do Crasto stands hands above the domestic market in terms of tourism as well. Quinta do Crasto is an estate that simply cannot be missed by those hoping to enjoy the Portuguese wine country. In 2015, the Quinta welcomed more than 3,500 visitors, mostly from Brazil and Europe and in the same year Trip Advisor, the world´s largest travel site, awarded the estate its Certificate of Excellence. Each of these developments, allied with the passion of an entire team dedicated to seeking out the highest possible quality in wine and other products, have contributed to Quinta do Crasto's growing national and international reputation.
