10 Years of André at Poças!

It’s been 10 years of André at Poças!

Time has flown by, filled with stories and wines worth collecting.

Tradition has it that 10 years of marriage are marked by the Tin (or Zinc) Anniversary — a symbol of resilience and flexibility. And in that same spirit, André’s journey with us has been defined by remarkable adaptability and a flair for innovation.

We’re reminded of André’s brilliant touch when he launched the “Fora da Série” project back in 2019. And now, we’re thrilled to share some big news: a FORA DA SÉRIE SPECIAL EDITION, created to celebrate his 10 years at Poças — a decade shaped by an irrepressibly creative and pioneering spirit.

Two non-vintage wines that capture so much of who André is and what he brings to the table. They reflect his deep passion for the art of blending — a craft he honed through his love of Port. This is a limited and numbered release of just 1,825 bottles.

 

Fora da Série Uppercut Edição Especial Red

A crafted blend carefully selected from different years, which reveals another facet of André: Boxing, where an ‘uppercut’ is a deceptive yet forceful strike—just like this wine. Initially elegant and refined, it gradually reveals a depth and intensity that linger in memory.

Fora da Série Dogleg Edição Especial White

A crafted blend carefully selected from different years, which reveals another side of André: Golf, where ‘dogleg’ refers to a sharply curved hole that remains hidden from the starting point. It embodies the thrill of the unexpected, blending mystery and strategy — just like this wine. It does not reveal itself all at once, requiring time to uncover all the hidden layers.
