The Poeira 2021 wine recently achieved an impressive score of 19.5/20 in the prestigious Grandes Escolhas Magazine , reaffirming its position as one of the great ambassadors of the Douro. This recognition is not only a milestone for the wine itself, but also for its creator, winemaker Jorge Moreira , whose passion and vision have shaped this project since 2001.
Jorge Moreira's Vision
After accumulating experience and knowledge over seven harvests as a winemaker at Real Companhia Velha , Jorge Moreira felt the need to embark on his own project, one that would reflect his personal vision of the Douro. It was with this ambition that Poeira was born, a wine designed to be more than just an expression of the region: a reflection of Moreira’s intimate and unique interpretation of the terroir.
Located in Provesende , in the heart of the Douro, the project is located on a hillside in the Pinhão valley, on the right bank of the river. The winery is rooted in an old vineyard that combines several traditional grape varieties of the region with Touriga Nacional , one of the most emblematic varieties of the Douro.

On the palate, it reveals itself to be a wine of great tension and firmness , with a satiny texture that seduces the palate. The tannins are fine, agile and well integrated, providing a balanced and elegant tasting experience.
