Douro Insider's report
I think the new look of the site is great, but in particular the 'Insider Report' is a brilliant addition. It is eloquent, particularly well-informed and a real pleasure to read. It makes one wonder how anyone manages to deal with all those difficulties and still grow such fantastic grapes out there in the Douro. Your viticulturist must be quite an expert! I especially like the explanations of the way that the interplay between climatic conditions and the development of the vines shapes the work that is carried out in the vineyard.
The photos are very evocative too. Is there any way that we can download them - to use as wallpaper, for instance?
