– REGION –<br />
OPORTO AND DOURO:<br />
The perfect combination<br />
for making great wines<br />
Port wine is one of Portugal’s oldest global ambassadors. There are few places<br />
in the world where wine has had such a remarkable influence as in the Douro.<br />
Consumer tastes have shifted though, from sweet to drier offerings.<br />
Santiago Jimenez goes on a journey along the region’s iconic river,<br />
seeking out, not its storied fortified wines, but the more recent addition<br />
to its present-day portfolio – still wines.<br />
