The Douro Valley is an amazing paradise for wine enthusiasts. Its climate and soil make it the suitable place to breed grapes that produce pure nectar. The most renowned wine produced in the region 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 technique leads to a sweet, richly-flavoured wine that is perfect for sipping by itself or enjoying it as an after-dinner drink. Its rich 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 fifty percent of the region's vineyards are allotted to Port wine production, and the products are absolutely exceptional.
