Origin · Douro · Douro Superior

Douro Superior is the easternmost and hottest sub-region of the Douro Valley, extending to the Spanish border. Its hot, dry climate and lower rainfall produce powerful, concentrated wines, with schist and granite soils yielding both premium Port and increasingly acclaimed dry reds and whites from estates like Quinta do Vale Meão.
