The Douro is one of Portugal’s best-known wine regions. The region is world-renowned as the home of port, but it also produces excellent red and white still wines. The steep vineyards along the Douro River and the warm, dry climate give the wines a distinctive character.
At Port2Port, you’ll find a carefully curated collection of Douro wines from various producers and vintages. From full-bodied reds to elegant and complex wines for lovers of Portuguese wine.
Traditional Portuguese grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz are often used to make red Douro wines. These grapes are used both on their own and in blends.
Red Douro wines can offer aromas of dark fruit, black cherries, and plums, complemented by herbal and floral notes and minerality. Depending on the producer, vineyard, and aging, the style ranges from fruit-forward and approachable to full-bodied and complex.
The Douro is also the region of origin for port. Many of the same traditional grape varieties are used to produce port, but the winemaking and aging processes result in a very different style of wine.
