The Douro Superior. This is
frontier country, right at the end of the Douro Valley, some 20 miles from the
Spanish border.
The newly planted vineyard in the foreground is Quinta de la Rosa's new
property, Bandeiras. Over the river is
Vale Meao, which used to be the source of the grapes for the famed Barca Velha.
