Poças Quinado

In 2018 Poças celebrates its 100th Anniversary of its foundation. To celebrate this, it produced this Quinado Wine, a special wine that combines the elegance of an old Tawny with the bitter quinine and the aromatic exuberance of a set of essences that will have been used at the time of its elaboration. Created by the taster of the house, Miguel Pinto Hespanhol, is a wine with a history already of 40 years of life. Quinado Wine was very popular in Brazil and in the Portuguese Colonies more than 40 years ago to fight tropical diseases, such as Malaria, due to the presence of Quinine.
