Douro Tandem Talk

by Dorli Muhr

We know that you’re probably devestated that Douro Primeira Prova 2020 won’t take place the way it did last year. So are we. That’s why The New Douro-group came up with a solution, so that you’ll still get to experience what group has to offer.

Introducing the Douro Tandem Talks that will take place online from the comfort of your home. You can listen and discuss the main topics with the producers via Instagram on the initial days of the event (18th, 19th and 20th October from 4 pm (UTC+0) onwards). The leading Portuguese Douro winegrowers will answer burning questions and discuss some of the hottest topics of the wine industry. You can join in without any bureaucratic non-sense (exactly the way we like it!):

  • Open your Instagram-app (make sure you have an account, though)

  • Go to @thenewdouro

  • Open live at the given times.

You can ask your questions directly in the live-stream. On the bottom of your screen, you can type in your questions and the speakers will see them straight away in real-time. But now... let's have a look at our topics.

The ImPORTance of Port & the Greatness of Still Wines

Sunday 18th October | 16.00-16.20

Sandra Tavares (Wine&Soul) & José Luis Moreira da Silva (Quinta dos Murças) discuss how it is possible that one Valley delivers both - exquisite Ports and top score still wines, whether red OR white. Not sparing details, they'll be talking about grapes, climate, terroir and their style of winemaking, Sandra & José will take you on an exclusive, eye-opening journey into the depths of this valley's diversity. To follow this tandem talk & to ask your questions, log in on Instagram & open @thenewdouro (live) on Sunday (18 Oct), at 16.00-16.20 (UTC+0) o'clock.
