Producer Info: Since 1999, Altano has been the flagship brand for the table wines produced by Symington Family Estates, famous for producing Port & with over a century’s expertise of winemaking in the Douro Valley. Originally famous for the production of Port, the Douro is increasingly becoming known for its high quality red & white wines. In 1979 the demarcated region of the Douro was granted its Denomination of Origin for table wine, & since then both the production & quality of table wines have increased dramatically. It is now apparent that this region is capable of producing wines that can rival the very best in the world, & due to the unique terroir & grape varieties they have a highly distinctive character & style not to be found elsewhere.
