Tasting Notes: Poeira tries to be a balanced and elegant wine. In general, Douro wines are sustained in tannin, but Poeira is sustained in acidity. A very drinkable and desirable wine when new but, at the same time, has the ability to evolve. I intend that each wine is the mirror of the vineyards that give rise to it, maintaining its profile but following the variations that occur in the vineyard year after year.
The Producer
After doing seven harvests as a winemaker at Real Companhia Velha, Jorge Moreira felt the need to start an individual project where he could apply his ideas and where he could control the entire production process. Without concessions, a wine that was a reflection of his interpretation of the Douro. In 2001 he started the Poeira project located in Provesende, along a slope in the Pinhão valley, on the right bank of the river with the same name.
