The wine region of Douro

Cradle of Port: opulent fortified wine with notes of candied black fruit, cocoa, fig, walnut and spice, from young fruity Ruby to oxidative amber Tawny, plus age-worthy LBV and Vintage of exceptional cellaring. Also great dry Douro DOC reds, structured and deep (violet, black-fruited Touriga Nacional, elegant Touriga Franca, spicy Tinta Roriz). A few fresh Douro whites. Terraced vineyards (~40,000 ha) UNESCO on schist.


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: Disgorging (champagne)

This is the evacuation of the deposit formed by the yeasts during the second fermentation in the bottle, by opening the bottle. The missing volume is completed with the liqueur de dosage - a mixture of wine and cane sugar - before the final cork is placed. For some years now, some producers have been replacing this sugar with rectified concentrated musts (concentrated grape juice) which give excellent results. A too recent dosage (less than three months) harms the gustatory harmony of the champagne.
