Poeira Branco 2022
Region: Douro
Producer: Jorge Moreira (Poeira)
For Poeira, Jorge was looking for more balance between power and freshness. Achieving that required a slower ripening of the grapes. By offering his grapes some shade at the hottest times of the day, he was able to retain enough acidity in the juice. And so, year after year, Poeira charms through elegance, based on a good balance between sugars and acids. The mineral character comes out volot and gives a nice complexity to the wine.Poeira (= dust) refers to the crumbling shale soil of the Douro that creates an awful lot of dust in the dry summers. Thus, the name perfectly sums up what Jorge is all about: letting his wine tell the story of where it was made, on the dusty slate soils of the Douro.
