To explain the history of THE NEW DOURO, one must first take a look backward into the story of ‘The Old Douro’. Port wine has been produced for more than 300 years, but the production of still wines by comparison has only been a major factor since the end of World War II. A group of wine producers, working under the title THE NEW DOURO, came together in 2004 under Paul Symington, Dirk Niepoort, and Cristiano Van Zeller, with the goal of promoting still wines from Douro.
