But, before the wine finishes its fermentation, grape brandy is added to the blend, stopping the fermentation process and ultimately giving it its distinctively sweet taste. This fortified wine is then matured in oak barrels, and within two years it becomes a vintage, or having been matured for seven years or more, the port become classified as tawny.<\/p>\n<p>While travelling through the Douro Valley, where the Douro River winds between vine-covered slopes, many visitors take the chance to stop by a vineyard or two. Here, a visit to the vineyards is rewarding in more ways than one; within this region, each vineyard and winery is entrenched in the traditions surrounding port and its production.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/07\/Port_iStock_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Port Wine in Portugal\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Port_iStock_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Port_iStock_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Port_iStock_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Port_iStock_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Port_iStock_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Port_iStock_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Many people choose to delve further into these traditions in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Porto, which lies at the heart of the Douro Valley.
