The Douro Valley is a real paradise for wine lovers. Its weather and soil make it the appropriate place to grow grapes that produce pure nectar. The most popular wine produced in the area is Port, a Portuguese fortified sweet red wine.
Port wine is made by stopping the fermentation with the addition of a a high in alcohol spirit, which "fortifies" the wine. This method leads to a sweet, richly-flavoured wine that is best for sipping on its own or enjoying it as an after-dinner drink. Its abundant flavour and sweet taste make it a flexible wine that can be joined with a variety of foods.
Only wines that are produced in Portugal's Douro Valley can be named Port or Oporto in Europe! Over 50% of the region's vineyards are allotted to Port wine production, and the products are absolutely exceptional.
