Yes, it is beautiful, but it is a tough region for winemaking. The high mountains are cut into twists and turns by the Douro river. The rocks are too steep for vines to grow on, and therefore thousands of terraces and stone walls, some dating from the Middle Ages, have been carved into the slopes in order to create surfaces for planting vineyards. It’s no wonder that the picturesque landscape was classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. The soils are composed of schist and granite and are extremely poor. Hot summers with little rainfall keep the yields very tiny.
Distinctively Douro
The grape varieties have exotic names, such as TourigaNacional, Touriga Franca, TintaAmarela, Sousão, Tinto Cão for the reds or Rabigato, Códega do Larinho, Viosinho and Gouveio for the whites. Both red and white varieties produce genuine wines, with a long aging potential and a clear indication of their origin: distinctively Douro.
