Port

Historic fortified wine region that runs along the river Douro from the Spanish border half way to the coast. It is a hot, dry and inhospitable climate and until recently was very backward. The region is subdivided into three and different weights of wine come from each. Lighetr ports come from the most westerly district of Baixo Corgo, whilst the finest vinatges come from the Cima Corgo. To the East is the remote Douro Superior, until recently little planted,
