Wine from Douro

If you are looking for a wine region that embodies the essence of terroir, the Douro Valley in Portugal is a must-visit. Carved by the Douro River, its steep, terraced vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate that enhances grape quality. Notable for its robust Port wines, the region also nurtures indigenous varieties like Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz. Historical techniques, such as foot-treading in lagares, still thrive, adding cultural depth to this UNESCO World Heritage site, celebrated for its scenic beauty and rich winemaking heritage.
