The wine region of Douro Superior
Easternmost sub-region of the Douro (Portugal), the hottest and driest (under 400 mm/year, poor schist soils, thermal amplitude up to 20°C, sheltered from the Marão): Touriga Nacional is the signature red — intense violet, blackcurrant, blackberry and mountain herb aromas, powerful tannins and exceptional ageing potential. Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Tinto Cão add structure. Also produces Port wines.
The wine region of Duriense
Portuguese IGP covering the Douro and Porto area (northeast), schist soils on vertiginous terraced slopes, dry continental climate, flexible status outside DOC. Touriga Nacional signature as red king (300+ authorised varieties): intense and floral with blackberry, black cherry, violet, garrigue, liquorice and mineral schist hint, firm tannins — noble Douro emblem. Supple Touriga Franca and spicy Tinta Roriz as complement. Fresh mineral whites and creative modern sparkling.
The word of the wine: Table wine
Everything that is not VQPRD (European designation for all appellation wines: quality wine produced in a specific region). In principle, the bottom of the ladder. But, as in Italy a decade ago (Vino da Tavola), this category is also a refuge for wines that are out of the ordinary, whose producers refuse to accept certain grape variety or vinification dictates.
