A large number of grape varieties are grown in the Douro region, most of them local Portuguese grapes: reds used for port include Bastardo, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz (the same as Spain’s Tempranillo) and Touriga Nacional, and the white grapes the most famous being Malvasia Fina.
The Duero Valley is the region for Port production, with most Houses centered on the town of Oporto.
It is a visually stunning valley – high terraces and linking tributaries -sheltered from Atlantic winds and a Mediterranean climate, with hot and dry summers and cold winters
