'''Duriense''' is a [Portuguese wine](/source/Portuguese_wine) region covering the same area as the [Douro DOC](/source/Douro_DOC) and the [Port wine](/source/Port_wine) region.<ref name="ViniPT">[http://www.viniportugal.pt/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=301 ViniPortugal: Wine Regions] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170504010135/http://www.viniportugal.pt/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=301 |date=2017-05-04 }}, accessed on January 26, 2010</ref> In difference from Douro DOC, Duriense VR is a designation at the lower ''[Vinho Regional](/source/Vinho_Regional)'' (VR) level, which corresponds to [table wine](/source/table_wine)s with a geographical indication under [European Union wine regulations](/source/European_Union_wine_regulations), similar to a [French](/source/French_(wine)) ''[vin de pays](/source/vin_de_pays)'' region. Thus, it is the simpler or less typical wines of the Douro region that are sold using a Duriense VR label.

Before the creation of a separate Duriense VR, the Douro vineyards were part of the former [Trás-os-Montes VR](/source/Tr%C3%A1s-os-Montes_VR), which is now called [Transmontano VR](/source/Transmontano_VR) and no longer includes the Douro vineyards.<ref name="ViniPT"/>

[Donzelinho branco](/source/Donzelinho_branco) is one of the authorized grape permitted to be blended in the wines of Duriense.<ref>J. Robinson, J. Harding and J.
