Porto Pocas 10 Year Old Tawny Port 75cl

A great offering from The House of Poças, this Port is a result from a combination of different wines, from various harvests throughout the years, matured in wood, equalling an average age of 10 years.

Tawny colour. Woody bouquet of dried fruits and raisins. Fruity and well matched with the wood. Full-bodied, irresistible and complex, with a long lasting finish of dried plums.  It should be served at room temperature 18ºC/64ºF or slightly chilled. Ideal as a dessert or convivial wine. Pairs well with stilton, blue veined French cheese, walnuts or a treacle tart.

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.

Grapes are harvested manually and transported in 30Kg trays. Controlled fermentation stopped by grape brandy addition. Matured in wood for 3 years, followed by blending of several White Port wines from different harvests, cold stabilization and filtration.
