Located on the right bank of the river, midway between Régua and Pinhão, in the heart of the Douro Valley, Quinta do Crasto has been in the family of Leonor and Jorge Roquette for over a century. The estate covers 130 hectares, 70 planted with vineyards, mainly on the south facing slopes - extending from the banks of the river up to an altitude of nearly 600 meters. Together with their winemakers and the entire team, they seek to produce wines that express the unique and beautiful characteristics of the Douro; all of this through an unrelenting devotion to tradition, integrity and a commitment to excellence.
