Summary
In the Douro, the benefit dropped from 104,000 kites (550 liters each) in 2023, to 90,000 in 2024 and to 75,000 in 2025, in a fall in three years of 29,000 kites. The winter was extremely rainy, the spring was hot and with low precipitation records, in May there were 12 days of a heat wave and in June it was also 10 days of heat wave. There were also more localized situations of hail drop and there was an anticipation of 10 to 12 days of the vine vegetative cycle that can lead to a "light anticipation of the harvest".
Furthermore, The production declared in 2025, in the Douro, was 178,000 kites. The production forecast for the 2026 harvest of the Douro Demarcated Region was presented today by the Association for the Development of Durian Viticulture (ADVID), based in Vila Real. " Given that the range of production forecast varies between 243,000 and 272,000 kites, we predict that production may be close to the lower limit and may even be lower than this production limit," he concluded.
In addition, In the last 25 years, this has been the second lowest production in the region. “We will be pointing to a growth of 25% to 30% compared to the previous year,” said Luís Marcos. The Douro plans to produce 25% to 30% more wine than in 2025, but the harvest will depend on the weather conditions felt until harvest, such as the intense heat that may cause water stress of the vine. Therefore, ADVID also carried out a mid-term review on Monday with its members to 'understand what the impact of what happens after flowering'.
