About Duorum
Two Great Winemakers
Duorum, Latin for 'from two,' was launched in 2007 by two of Portugal's best-known winemakers, João Portugal Ramos and José Maria Soares Franco. Soares Franco spent decades at Casa Ferreirinha as custodian of Barca Velha, perhaps Portugal's most legendary red, while Ramos built one of the country's most respected wine groups.
Quinta de Castelo Melhor
The heart of Duorum is Quinta de Castelo Melhor in the Douro Superior, near Vila Nova de Foz Côa. Pieced together from dozens of small owners, it sits on the remote upper reaches of the Douro, within a UNESCO World Heritage wine region, and part of the land lies within protected natural parks.
Modern, Responsible Viticulture
Duorum was created to capture the essence of the Douro Superior through modern, responsible viticulture. The team has invested heavily in new plantings and a winery at Castelo Melhor, and in conservation of the surrounding landscape and its wildlife.
Style and Reputation
Duorum makes both Douro table wines and Port, from approachable everyday reds to old-vine reserves and Vintage Port. Its wines have earned strong scores from international critics and awards in Portugal, offering a modern take on one of the world's great wine regions.
