Specification

Producer

Poças Júnior

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.

Tasting Notes

Lots of raisin, fig and prune hints with a powerful sweetness at its core. In the mouth it has lots of dark fruits and some toffee hints. A great port for all year round.

Food Matches

The perfect partner for dried fruits, nuts and strong cheese.

Vinification

Grapes selection in the field and harvested manually.Controlled fermentation with extended maceration, stopped by grape brandy addition. In large wooden vats for an average of 4 to 6 years, then blended in stainless steel tanks to preserve its classical full bodied style, rich and well-balanc.
