List of grape varieties permitted by the IVDP for use in production of Port

[Alex Bridgeman]

This is a list lifted off the IVDP website in November 2025 from a technical document last updated in December 2011.

This list is in the order lifted from the document. I might, in due course, sort it alphabetically and/or by colour - I presume b is for branca (white) and n is for negra (black).

I think this is what you were referring to, Glenn?

[Glenn E.]

Yes, that's the one!

In that document, there are 64 Tinto and 46 Branco that are authorized for Port. Plus an additional 1 Tinto and 4 Branco that are only authorized for Douro wines.
