Poças

In 1918, a few months before the Armistice, Manoel Domingues Poças Júnior, who had been born in the heart of the Port Wine hustle and bustle, decided to establish his own company. Manoel Poças was 30 years old and he had some experience in this business. With his uncle, he created a company to sell grape spirits to large Port Wine shippers. Soon afterwards he opened a head office in Vila Nova de Gaia, where they remain to this day. Today, with three quintas in the best winemaking areas of the Douro Demarcated Region, Poças ensures its total control over the quality of its wines and the family is more involved than ever before.

Notes of toast, country flowers, citrus fruit. Good mouth volume, crisp acidity with smooth tannins. Compelling, pretty dry and fresh.
Serve with toast with full-fat or cured cheeses, smoked fish, mushrooms
Fermentation in stainless steel vats and ageing in old French oak casks for 18 months under a thin “flor”

Anton Moiseenko, Wine Drinker, 2024: "A truly experimental wine made under a thin layer of “flor” (often found in Sherry wines of Andalucia) and kept during 18 months. Agile, deep, smooth wine. Great oxidative profile. Códega, Arinto, Rabigato."
