History:
Quinta do Crasto has more than 400 years of history, part of which is documented.
This farm is and is part of the history of the Douro and of Port Wine, with all its details, from the productions prior to the Company, or even prior to vinification with brandy, through the projection of DOC Douro wines.
The events and vicissitudes that brought the Crasto brand through time should be highlighted, passing through the Pombalina Company, through the liberalization and market regulation movements, through the plagues of the 19th century, powdery mildew, mildew and phylloxera.
Going through the creation of Álvaro Moreira da Fonseca’s “Method for the Distribution of the Benefit of Port Wine”.
