“Behind the mountains”
The remote northeast, shielded from Atlantic rain by the Marão and Alvão mountains. Small family vineyards and cooperatives make rustic, characterful reds and whites, often from old mixed plantings of local grapes.
Did you knowThe Douro’s Port vineyards sit just south of this region, and the two share many of the same grape varieties.
