Amphora Tinto
Amphora Tinto

Spicy cherries with earthy complexity.
The Amphora Tinto presents itself with a bright ruby red color that reflects its youthful freshness. Its slight cloudiness and fine shimmer give it an inviting and natural appearance.
On the nose, this wine unfolds a seductive bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as juicy cherries and red currants. There are also subtle notes of spices, such as cloves and cinnamon, as well as a hint of wild herbs and earth.
On the palate, the Amphora Tinto is full-bodied and lively. Its fresh acidity harmonizes perfectly with the fruity aromas. Notes of red berries and a hint of chocolate combine to create a sophisticated taste experience with a pleasant length in the finish.
Quinta do Pôpa's Amphora Tinto was fermented in traditional Portuguese terracotta amphorae and then aged for a period of time in used oak barrels. This unique vinification method gives the wine a remarkable freshness and depth.
Family history to drink: Grandfather Pôpa's lifelong dream was to have his own winery in the Douro Valley. His descendants are making this dream come true.
The young Pôpa worked in the vineyards of the Douro Valley in the oldest protected wine-growing region in the world. The proud man was passionately convinced of the quality and uniqueness of the wines. Pôpa dreamed of owning his own winery. It was only after his death that this dream came true and in 2003 his son Zeca bought the first 9 hectares of vineyards in the Douro Valley: these included renowned but also new locations. Together with his children Vanessa and Stéphane and the winemaker and king of the Baga grape, Luis Pato, he built the Quinta do Pôpa winery in honour of his father. In 2010 he handed it over to the capable hands of his children, who look after the family legacy with care and devotion.
