Douro, also interesting for dry wines

The Douro (pronounced: doruh) is of course best known for the red and white port, which are fortified wines. It is a beautiful wine region with steep slopes and the Douro River that flows from Spain to Porto and flows into the Atlantic Ocean. In Spain, the river is called Duero, known for the Ribero del Duero wine region.

For about 10 years now, dry 'normal' wines have also been coming from the higher parts of the Douro, so close to the Spanish border. Port sales are declining and what do you do as a winemaker? You make 'normal' wines. But fortunately, those Douro wines are often very beautiful. This DR Tinto is a good example. Also try the DR Tinto Reserva.

Quinta da Levandeira is part of winery group Agri Ronçao.
