Wine Spectator reminds us that Portugal’s Douro Valley continues to shine as one of the world’s top wine regions, with Quinta do Vallado among its standout producers. Vallado’s Vinha da Granja 2021 earned 95 points for its remarkable depth and character, sourced from a historic 1929 vineyard of old, low-yielding vines. Under the leadership of João Roquette Álvares Ribeiro and winemaker Francisco Ferreira, Vallado is also redefining Douro white wines – refining blends, aging, and vineyard practices to balance tradition with modernity, making its wines some of Portugal’s most compelling and collectible.
