Trás-Os-Montes, it may not ring a bell. It is the region where Port is made, for centuries one of the most famous wines in the world. Nowadays, the modern Quintas from the region also make dry wines. Under the Douro appellation. They are quickly increasing in popularity.
Trás-Os-Montes is located in the Northeast of Portugal, along the Douro River and next to the Spanish wine region of Castilla y León. It is a fairly inhospitable area, with vineyards on steep slopes. An old wine region too. The Romans already exported wine from here. To this day, donkeys are used to transport the picked grapes.
Port is one of the most famous wines in the world. The British and Dutch in particular are very fond of it. Port can be both red and white and comes in different styles and types, such as Ruby, Tawny and Late Bottled Vintage. Port is made by putting grapes in large containers that are one metre deep. Arm in arm, the grape pressers walk through the vat to mix the skins with the juice, so that the wine gets a lot of color.
In the past, dry wine from the Douro was a by-product of Port. That is no longer the case. Nowadays, acceptable to very fine dry wine is made. And the winemakers can choose from hundreds of grape varieties. We currently have six wines from Trás-Os-Montes in our range. You can view all our wines from Trás-Os-Montes here.
