The trapezoid infinity pool of Quinta do Crasto is cut high up into the Douro hillside, overlooking the river. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Eduardo Souto de Moura, its swimmers get to enjoy views of this UNESCO World Heritage region and its famously sloped vineyards from a height of 600 metres, followed by wine and tapas on its terrace. When Leonor and Jorge took over in 1981, Quinta do Crasto was focused on Port production. Over time, they have revitalized and extended the vineyards to produce an additional selection of dry red and white wines focusing on native grape varieties. The two most special cuvées, ‘Vinha Maria Teresa’ and ‘Vinha da Ponte’ are red blends from old vines and, inspired by the estate’s Ports, are only made in the best years, the grapes trodden under foot once they reach the winery (a practice broadly mechanized otherwise).
