News Summary:

Rocim secured placements for two of its 2024 vintage wines, Grande Rocim Branco and Herdade do Rocim Alicante Bouschet, in British Airways' first and executive class cabins on February 2. On the same day, the Port Wine Companies Association (AEVP) voiced strong opposition to a project-law approved by a Juntos Pelo Povo deputy in the Portuguese Parliament on January 30. The AEVP argued that the proposed legislation, allowing for the use of Durian aguardente in Port Wine, "seriously puts in question the continuity of the Douro Denomination of Origin (DOC Douro)" and could negatively impact the Port Wine business's international credibility, image, reputation, and competitiveness. Earlier, on January 30, SOGRAPE highlighted its LAN project, created in 1972, which represents the initials of the three Rioja provinces: Logronho, Álava, and Navarra. This followed news from January 29 regarding the "Serras" terroir, a newly recognized area within the Tejo wine region comprising 375 hectares of often-old vineyards, with an average planting year of 1978, spread across several mountainous municipalities. Previously, on January 28, Quinta do Vallado's operations were noted with a visit to Poente by Vallado in Porto, where manager João Alvares Ribeiro and winemakers Francisco Ferreira and Francisco Olazabal were present.
