The Poças Lodge, we had the chance to tasting both Colheita tawny ports and several of their vintage Ports. We also got to sample from barrel their Quinado Port, which is a Port wine to which quinine has been added - a style originally introduced during wartime to help soldiers in the tropics ward off malaria. We were hosted by Pedro Poças Pintão, who is the Commerical Director at Poças.
