Um artigo e slideshow sobre a mais famosa região nacional de produção vinicola. O Douro está a entrar no circuito internacional de vinhos, um passo associado não só a qualidade, mas também a infraestruturas e turismo... já não era sem tempo!

“There’s 2,000 years of winemaking history in the Douro,” said Mr. Niepoort, a fifth-generation heir of the family-owned port company, Niepoort. “But it’s only in the last 15 years that the wines are becoming good and in the last five that they’ve become outstanding.”

Much of that outstanding wine is being made by five small wine producers who recently formed a winemaking clique called the Douro Boys. These “boys” (Mr. Niepoort is one) range in ages from the early 30s to mid-60s — and one is a woman.
