Today, there are two distinctly different ways of making a Douro wine. The traditional method, where the grapes are trod in a lagar - a wide, shallow granite tank - produces wines with more colour and tannins which, generally speaking, improves their potential for ageing. On the other hand, there is a more modern method that has risen in popularity, where the wines are made in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures. The latter wines are more elegant and the aromas of the wine are better preserved. We use both winemaking techniques in order to obtain more complex wines.
