Douro Red wines range in style from light and fruity to lush and smooth to dark and dense with flavors of mature dark fruit, with herbal and schist.
The wines are often and inky purple due to the thickening of the skins from the intense summer heat of the region.
Most of the best made reds from the region come from the larger port houses where the skill of the winemakers go back for generations....
