Port and Douro Region
Located in Northeast Portugal, within the Douro River basin, surrounded by craggy mountains that give it very particular soil and climacteric characteristics, this region spreads over a total area of approximately 250 000 hectares and is divided into three sub-regions that differ greatly from each other not only as regards the weather but also for socio-economical reasons. The existing characteristics in the Douro region affect the economic use that is made of the natural resources and the activities developed there.
Rioja, the strength of a name with a historic reputation
Thus are Rioja wines, vanguard and tradition joined together in a wine region that is unique in the world -the best of both the old and the new world of wine. And this also applies to its corporate brand, which represents the solidity of its history and the strength of its experience, renewed and driven forward by the creativity and innovation- colours born in and inspired by the land, the vines and their fruit, and the vine itself, icon of our land and universal symbol of wine. Rioja is quality, prestige and international recognition. Rioja is restless and open; dynamic and creative; synonym of sharing and enjoying.
