The modern winemaking era of Quinta do Crasto dates back as far as 1615, but its Roman ruins suggest earlier viticultural activity. For years, the vineyard, owned by the Roquette family, sold its grapes to A.A. Ferreira until a revision in shipping laws made it possible for Quinta do Crasto to ship its own Port.
Besides Port, Quinta do Crasto has been producing high-quality single quinta table wines in the Douro Valley since 1994. Modern winemaking facilities combined with the use of traditional Douro varietals like Tinta Roriz and Touriga Nacional, have earned Quinta do Crasto tremendous international acclaim for its range of table wines.
Port is, and always will be, a fundamental part of Quinta do Crasto; the quinta's commitment to Port is evidenced in the high quality of its fortified wines. In the case of Ports and table wines alike, only the best wines of the quinta's total production are bottled under the Quinta do Crasto label.
