Vinimark - The Wine Company’s Post

Marketing matters - a lot. Yesterday we took a wine tour from Porto to the Douro Valley. This valley is one of the oldest wine regions, dating back to 1756, when it was well known for Port. But this region has only been a tourism destination for about two decades. Why? We were surprised at how big this region is. Our guide told us that there are 19k certified wineries in the region. He had other stats that blew my mind because I didn’t know much about this region before. Then we had two great tastings. One was from an 8th generation wine maker whose ancestor saved the vines in this region from phylloxera by grafting the roots with American vines. No pesticides are used to protect from bugs, instead they have olive trees strategically planted all over which are what the bugs gravitate to instead. Cork trees are planted to make corks and make up a large percentage of total wine corks in the world. None of the wineries we visited proactively tried to sell their wines. So different from Napa and Sonoma. If you’re a wine fan, or interested in the history of wine making, I highly recommend visiting the Douro Valley. #livethewidth #travel #marketingmatters

Unlike coffee plantations, wine cultivation isn’t restricted by elevation or latitude, and in South America, you’re sure to stumble across vintages being made in well-known destinations such as Mendoza’s Uco Valley or Chile’s Maipó Valley. But there are a host of unexpected, up-and-coming regions across the continent, where you can sample vintages often paired with epic scenery, away from the crowds, yet surrounded by warm hospitality. https://lnkd.in/ddkeSBXV

Bodega Manuel Quintano Labastida was founded in 1964 in the epicenter of Rioja Alavesa.
