A new port house is a rare thing indeed with most of the names in port
predating even the 20th Century. Before Duorum, Churchill Graham was
probably the newest port company, being founded by Johnny Graham (from
the family that used to own the Graham port house) in 1981. Duorum
stared in January 2007 as a partnership between JP Ramos, an established
name in Alentejo and Jose Maria Soares Franco, who had been making Port
and red wines (including Barca Velha) at AA Ferreira. The range of
wines produced include dry reds and whites, as well as red port (cintage
and LBV so far), with both Colheitas and Riservas being dry red table
wines rather than ports. I saw this port at my neighbourhood wine shop
thyat has an eclectic range. I shall look forward to tasting this wine.
