WINEMAKER NOTES
Poças is a 100% Portuguese wine company founded in 1918 by Manoel D. Poças Júnior, producing Port and Douro DOC wines.
With more than 100 years of life, the company is currently in the hands of the 4th generation (Maria Manuel Maia, Paulo Pintão, Pedro Pintão, Jorge Manuel Pintão).
Poças has been one of the pioneer companies to produce Douro DOC wines, proving its creativity and boldness since then.
