<h3 style="text-align:justify;"><span class="tm6">It all started in 1918, when Manoel Domingues Poças Júnior, born in the center of the hustle and bustle of Port Wine, decided to found his own business. It was August 15, a few months before the Armistice. Manoel Poças had 30 years and some work experience in the area. With his uncle, he founded a company to sell brandies to major producers of Port Wine. Shortly thereafter he established the state of new life in Vila Nova de Gaia. First his uncle, then his brothers, his wife, his grandchildren: the whole Poças family came to share his passion for wine, combining respect for tradition with an open mind to the innovation brought by the new generations. Today, with three farms in the best locations of the Douro Demarcated Region, Poças has full control of the quality of its wines. And the family's involvement is stronger than ever.</span></h3> <h3 style="text-align:justify;"></h3> <p></p>
