Quinta da Escusa

Quinta da Escusa extends over a long valley that connects the rural villages of Quintas and Vale Barco, where the ancestors of the current owners were born. For centuries, Quinta da Escusa's main crop has been the vineyard, more recently replenished and planted in its original terroirs.
