Pedro Lopez
Pedro Lopez is a brand registered by Douro Wine Shippers and Growers Association, but it is not known if it was originally a port wine house, was the Buyer's own brand or a brand that belonged to Douro Wine Shippers and Growers Association. Douro Wine Shippers and Growers mostly shipped private-labelled Port for their European clients, and in many cases used the Buyer's own brand (BOB).
