Altano Douro

Originally famous for the production of Port, the Douro is increasingly becoming known for its high quality red and white wines. In 1979 the demarcated region of the Douro was granted its Denomination of Origin for table wine, and since then both the production and quality of table wines have increased dramatically. It is now apparent that this region is capable of producing wines that can rival the very best in the world, and due to the unique terroir and grape varieties they have a highly distinctive character and style not to be found elsewhere.
