Owner Pedro Araujo declares that the wines can age, indeed, insisting that they can last for some 15 years. Note that Loureiro is a grape that tends to produce rather elegant wines. While these are in a more serious style, it is not a white Rhone, nor intended to be. Don't expect power and concentration here. That's not what they are.

This region through which the Rio Douro runs down to Porto produces very little red and white wine for domestic consumption as its grapes are reserved for the making of Port. The red table wines of this region have often been overshadowed by their famous Port relatives, but recently the Douro has become known for high quality red wines at a very modest price. Ranging in style from fresh and vibrant Burgundian style reds to full bodied old world style monsters, there is something for everyone in this category. The white wine of the Douro tends to be delightfully fresh and fruity with a very pleasing aroma.
