The Dynamic Douro - Modern Styles for a Classic Region
Portugal's Douro Valley was the world's first geographically delimited wine region when its boundaries were set out in the mid-1700s. For three centuries, Port has been intertwined with tradition but today, the region and the wines are changing. Exceptional dry white and red table wines are produced in the region and the variety of sweet fortified wines available beckons wine lovers to discover new flavors and styles. On this episode of Posatcards in a Gloass, we visit the Douro Valley and explore the region and its wine styles with Ana Rato of Ramos Pinto, a dynamic family-run port house owned by another family company, Champagne Louis Roederer.
