Poeira

Winemaker's notes:

Poeira aims to be a balanced and elegant wine. Douro wines generally rely on their tannins, but Poeira relies on its acidity. A wine that is extremely drinkable and appealing when young but which at the same time has the capacity to develop. I want every wine to mirror the vines from which it is made, maintaining its character but reflecting the variations that occur in the vineyard from year to year.

The Quinta is situated in Provesende, stretching along a hillside in the Vale do Pinhão, on the right bank of the river of the same name. It has 9 hectares of vineyard, 2 hectares of olive orchards and 3 hectares of woodland.

The vineyard has a northerly aspect which is a fundamental factor for our style of table wine. The temperatures in the region are always extremely high in summer, and on a north-facing slope the grapes always ripen more slowly, which preserves the aromas, flavours and acidity better. 

The Winery is minimalist, with four traditional stone vats (temperature controlled) and an old vertical press. It also has a climate-controlled cask-ageing cellar with thick schist walls. It is a winery designed for creating wines very slowly and with great care, containing everything that we need to be able to achieve the full expression of our terroir.
