Where it comes from
Douro, Portugal
Douro runs along the dramatic, terraced valley of the Douro River in northern Portugal and is the birthplace of Port, one of the world's classic fortified wines.
Touriga Nacional
Touriga Nacional is a red grape widely regarded as Portugal's finest, native to the Dão and Douro regions and a cornerstone of both Port and premium dry reds.
Touriga Franca
Touriga Franca is a red grape from the Douro Valley of northern Portugal, one of the most widely planted varieties in the region and a cornerstone of both Port and increasingly ambitious dry reds.
Tempranillo
Tempranillo is a red grape and the backbone of Spanish fine wine, most famously in Rioja and Ribera del Duero, where it produces the country's most age-worthy reds.
Tinta Barroca
Tinta Barroca is a red grape from the Douro Valley in northern Portugal, one of the traditional varieties used in Port and Douro red blends, prized for its productivity and deep colour.
