To mark more than 400 years of history of Quinta do Crasto, an emblematic estate from Douro with wines recognized worldwide, Omdesign created and produced “Honore”, a special edition limited to 400 bottles of a very old Tawny Port with more than 100 years.
This highly luxurious edition, inspired by the motto “Honore et Labore” (honour and work) coined by their founder, Constantino de Almeida, aims to pay homage to all those that, since 1615, invested in cultivating the vineyards and creating authentic wines, as Honore.
The creative agency totally designed this commemorative edition, that reflects the lines and the landscape of the Douro valley, where Quinta do Crasto stands guard, and the magnificent crystal decanter individually numbered. The exterior packaging, all produced in walnut wood, has noble finishes, as silver and leather that reinforces the uniqueness of this packaging. All these elements were laboured by the wise hands of Portuguese artisans who focused on detail to make this special edition.
What’s Unique?
Challenged to create a highly luxurious packaging, able to perpetuate more than 4 centuries of Quinta do Crasto’s history and tradition and to mirror their identity and values, Omdesign found inspiration in the Douro valley and in its lines to create this unique and differentiating edition.
