| Douro DOC wine | WIKI |
| Douro is a Portuguese wine region centered on the Douro River in the Trxc3xa1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro region. | WIKI |
| The region has Portugal's highest wine classification as a Denominaxc3xa7xc3xa3o de Origem Controlada (DOC). | WIKI |
| While the region is associated primarily with Port wine production, the Douro produces just as much table wine (non-fortified wines) as it does fortified wine. | WIKI |
| It thus became the world's first wine region to have a formal demarcation. | WIKI |
| While table wine has always been produced in the region, for a long time little of it was seen outside the region itself. | WIKI |
| The Port lodges were focused on the production and export of Port wine, which was their unique product on the export market, and had little interest in other wine styles. | WIKI |
| Thus, while the wines could be good, for a long time, there was no attempt to use Douro grapes to produce more ambitious table wine. | WIKI |
| The person credited with creating the first ambitious Douro wine is Fernando Nicolau de Almeida, who worked as an oenologist with the Port house Ferreira. | WIKI |
| He visited Bordeaux during World War II, which gave him inspiration for creating a top-quality table wine. | WIKI |
| The wine Barca Velha, first produced in 1952 using grapes from Quinta do Vale de Mexc3xa3o situated in the Douro Superior subregion, was the result. | WIKI |
| A contributing factor was Portugal's entry into the European Economic Community in 1986, which meant that the Port lodges' monopoly was abolished,[4] thus paving the way for producers in the Douro valley to produce and bottle their own wine - Port or dry Douro wines. | WIKI |
| The Douro wine region is situated around the Douro river valley and lower vallies of its tributaries Varosa, Corgo, Txc3xa1vora, Torto, and Pinhxc3xa3o. | WIKI |
| Vineyards dedicated to Port production are usually planted on schist while areas with granite-based soils are used for table wine production. | WIKI |
