The wine region of Duriense
Duriense is a Portuguese wine region covering the same area as the Douro DOC and the Port wine region. In difference from Douro DOC, Duriense VR is a designation at the lower Vinho Regional (VR) level, which corresponds to table wines with a geographical indication under European Union wine regulations, similar to a French vin de pays region. Thus, it is the simpler or less typical wines of the Douro region that are sold using a Duriense VR label. Before the creation of a separate Duriense VR, the Douro vineyards were Part of the former Transmontano/tras-os-montes">Trás-os-Montes VR, which is now called Transmontano VR and no longer includes the Douro vineyards.
