Everything You Need to Know About the Douro
The Douro region in Portugal is one of the most beautiful and oldest wine-growing regions in the world, carved out of schist terraces along the river. Known for Port wine, it also produces excellent still red and white wines under the Douro DOC designation.
The red wines of the Douro, made from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz, are remarkably rich and complex. Powerful, with aromas of dark fruit, spices, and cedar, they are among the best red wines in the world.
