{"product_id":"duero-to-douro","title":"Duero to Douro","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Duero River rises in Spain and flows west across a high, sun-drenched plateau defined by hot summers and cold winters. When it crosses into Portugal, it becomes the Douro, carving through steep, terraced mountains on its way to the Atlantic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Spain, the Duero defines some of the country’s most respected appellations, including Ribera del Duero. Marked by altitude and climatic extremes, the region produces structured, age-worthy reds based on Tempranillo, known for their depth and concentration. Nearby, Rueda offers a compelling counterpoint, with Verdejo delivering vibrant, expressive whites defined by freshness and precision. The style here is bold and confident, shaped by the openness of the landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross the border, the river transforms the terrain into the dramatic slopes of the Douro Valley, a UNESCO-listed landscape and one of the most visually stunning wine regions in the world. While synonymous with Port, the Douro also produces refined red and white table wines. Indigenous varieties such as Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz field blends that are full-bodied, layered, and unmistakably regional, supported by a warmer, more sheltered climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJoin us at this festival tasting, where we'll explore what these two regions along the same river have to offer. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur 'Festival' tastings are standing events that are approximately 2-2.5hrs long, so please bear this in mind upon booking.
