Douro Boys

The Douro Boys is a joint effort of five producers: Quinta do Vallado, Niepoort, Quinta do Crasto, Quinta Vale D. Maria and Quinta do Vale Meão.

In 2003 they started working together to promote the red wines of the Douro with the goal to get a similar recognition of the dry red wines as for port wines.
