    Great video. I´ve been to Portugal last year and stayed a weekend in the Douro, that is one of the most stunningly beautiful places in the world. And the wines are that fabulous indeed. I tasted many of the recomended wines in the video. Post Scriptum is a wonderful wine, at a nice price range if you don´t happen to live in Brazil. The Niepoort´s wines are also great quality.

    Love your content ! Greetings from Brazil ! Next time don’t miss the Quinta da Touriga Franca! Its one of the best of the Douro superior and it is produced by the same guy that makes the Duas Quintas Reserva ! You have to try also Adelaide, of Vallado. And the list bellow are very classic style Douro red wines : Passadouro reserva , Abandonado, and quinta do portal Auru. Trying to offer you a Douro that is more red fruit driven , I also recommend Pinteivera, that is made by Chapoutier ! And a suggestion: do a content about Dão wines ! They are the fresh medium body with length that you like , but with guard potential ! Cheers !

    Those are some heavy hitters there, i love quinta do Noval and their Syrah bottling having a vertical of 15,16 and 17 cellaring... Also Quinta de la Rosa Reserva and Quinta da Romaneira Reserva, a wine with a very mineral carácter (being from Madeira island im a sucker for mineraly Wines) and Pata d' Urso Old Vines are some that come to my head...

    Hi, this was a great video. Very helpful. We are going to Portugal and Douro valley in mid september. We love our wine, and really want to taste and experience as much of the amazing wines and wineries as we can while we are there. There are so many "touristy" tours for port wine out there. But we really want to experience the wines and grape varietals like the ones you have shown here. Do you have any reccomendations on how we can do this or who we can get into contact with?

    I love Portuguese wines though the Douro isn´t my favourite region. From there though I love both Quinta do Estanho, Quinta Dona Leonor and Quinta de la Rosa. In the latter case I find the white even better than the red with serious elegance. I´ve drank Chryseia a number of times and love the wine but the prices are a bit rich these days so I´ll try the Post Scriptum for far less money.

    I am really curious, the prices that you mentioned, is that what those wines cost in the states? Cuz if you pay 60 bucks for Portuguese wines in Portugal, there's no way that those wines are 4 to 5 times better than the wines from other producers from the same grapes.
