Pôpa Art Projects 3x1L
Pôpa Art Projects is the B side of Netos do Pôpa (Pôpa’s Grandchildren), a space to experiment wine that explores unexpected combinations, challenges centennial preconceptions and breaks down paradigms – as well as a few bottles along the way - with its own approach to the world of art.
If at times reality exceeds fiction, here we see it is fiction that inspires
winemaking. Hot Lips, In The Flesh and The Grape Escape are three titles inspired by the imagery of Pulp Fiction, a fertile literary terroir made up of red wardens and complex characters.
Three wines with three stories inspired by the imagery of Pulp Fiction ,
the called “string literature” in Portuguese . This release brings the B side (series) of the Pôpa Grandchildren to explore less obvious and marginal aromas and flavors, with the passion to the surface and across the table .
To drink without any moral restraint.

In The Flesh is a serious case, more grown-up than the crony Hot Lips.
On the nose, it shows ripe fruit and some complexity.
The wine matured in barrels which has left traces on its body and a final aroma of spices. There is intense tannin on the mouth, which as a result, is balanced with concentration and grace.
In The Flesh was written so that the wine could mature well in the bottle and never lose its smell among meat dishes.
Here’s the final proof that “Oh my god!” is a scream with no mercy.

Hot Lips is a warm wine that shows intensity in the redfruit, which makes it all so irresistible. The palate has a smooth entry with sleek and elegant tannin. It is a young wine with a tendency for a lot of freshness. Its fruity harmony makes it an attractive wine on the nose and greedy mouth. Hot Lips is daringly paired with traditional dishes, ones without intense spicy flavours.

Regarding the nose, the aromas wander, together, close in the woods; a symptom of evolution is placed in barrels. The palate shows good tannins and some acidity. The Grape Escape is a very structured wine, but also fresh, where the fruit appears by surprise, heating the mouth. The Grape Escape is the art of stealing the senses, characteristic of the old Douro.
Unsuspecting accomplices: sausages, smoked delicacies, goat’s and sheep’s cheese.
If you are caught with your mouth around this bottle, it is likely that you will serve a life sentence. Thus, more time to taste.
