Elsewhere in Douro / Porto

  1. Douro26 producersThe Douro's steep, mainly schist terraces produce dry still wines as well as the grapes for Port. Its hot, arid conditions support ripe, powerful wines.
  2. Távora-Varosa12 producersTávora-Varosa's high-altitude continental vineyards suit fresher, higher-acid sparkling wines. It was Portugal's first region demarcated for DOC sparkling wine, in 1989.
