Douro Tinto
Silky blackberry with juicy cedar vanilla.
In the glass, a dense ruby red emerges, reminiscent of ripe cherries in the evening light. The color appears clear and concentrated, almost velvety in its shimmer. Streaks elegantly trail along the rim of the glass – a first indication of the fullness, structure, and balance of this Douro red wine.
The nose opens with dark blackberries, black cherries, and a hint of blueberry. Floral nuances, a touch of violet, join in, lending lightness to the wine. Fine notes of vanilla, cedarwood, and a hint of leather complete the picture – profound, charming, multifaceted.
On the palate, it is silky, with finely etched tannins that roll over the tongue like noble velvet. The acidity brings grip, freshness, and clarity. Black fruits meet subtle spice, while leather and cocoa leave an elegant, long impression in the finish.
The wine is rooted in the stony slate of the Douro Valley, which gives it density and character. Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz are vinified with great sensitivity. The result is a Douro red that combines fruit, structure, and elegance – a wine that reflects craftsmanship and origin.
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.
