Hidden Gems in Pinhao valley, Cima Corgo

Quinta do Poeira (Jorge Moreira) ★ 4.5

Douro DOCTouriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta RorizFounded 2001Jorge MoreiraPinhao valley, Cima Corgo

A pioneering small dry-wine project in the Pinhao valley from acclaimed winemaker Jorge Moreira, making elegant, terroir-focused reds that became a sommelier favourite.

Tip: Poeira is allocation-driven and sold through specialist importers rather than a cellar door; track it via the estate's distributors.

Quinta da Manoella ★ 4.4

Douro DOCTouriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, field blend old vinesFounded 2009Sandra Tavares da Silva and Jorge Serodio BorgesPinhao valley, Cima Corgo

A historic Pinhao-valley estate revived by the Wine and Soul team, with a centenarian vineyard and reds that share the Pintas pedigree at a gentler price.

Tip: If Pintas is sold out, the Manoella Vinhas Velhas is the smart-money buy from the same team and old-vine sites.
