It all started on August 15, 1918, a few months before the armistice, when Manoel Dominques Poças junior decided to set up his own company. Manoel was 30 years old and already had some experience in the business and together with his uncle he founded a company that sold grapes to port shippers. Shortly afterwards, he opened the headquarters in Vila Nova de Gaia, where they are housed to this day.

Densely textured with dusty tannins and full of black plum skin and prune flavors, this is a ripe, complex wine. Its sweeter character does not spoil the great structure and dry core that will allow this exemplary wine to age. Drink from 2029. Roger Voss
