CLIMATE
The further east, the drier the climate becomes and the
deeper the wines. The Douro Valley is divided into three
broad areas, the Baixo Corgo, Cima Corgo and Douro
Superior. The Baixo Corgo lies at the western end, closest to the Maro mountains,
where the rainfall and vineyard yields are highest. This area mainly produces the lighter
more early maturing styles of Port intended to be drunk relatively young. To the east
and with a drier climate and lower yields, the Cima Corgo area is the location of many
of the Douros finest vineyards, such as Taylors estates of Terra Feita and Junco, and
produces more concentrated and long lasting wines. The easternmost area, the Douro
Superior, is the driest of all and is the source of many of the finest Vintage Ports,
including those of Taylors Quinta de Vargellas. Viticulture was only practiced
extensively in the Douro Superior after 1791 when the Valeira Gorge, until then the
easternmost limit of navigation on the Douro, was opened to river traffic. For this
reason, it was known for many years as the Douro Novo, or New Douro.

Alto Douro Wine Region
Wine has been produced by traditional landholders in the Alto Douro
region for some 2,000 years. Since the 18th century, its main product,
port wine, has been world famous for its quality. This long tradition of
viticulture has produced a cultural landscape of outstanding beauty that
reflects its technological, social and economic evolution.
