Ask anyone why the Douro Valley is famous and they’ll say Port – most likely vintage port, which accounts for a measly 1-2% of all Port wine. At London Wine Fair I was delighted to be asked to talk about the Douro by the Instituto do Vinho do Porto. It’s one of my favourite wine regions and much more cutting edge than you might think (pictured, Oscar Quevedo, demon-blogger and one of the region’s young guns, about whom more later). As Fladgate’s Chief Winemaker David Guimeraens puts it, in its 250 year history, the region has probably seen more innovation in the last 25 years. And he was just talking about port, not table wines!
