The intense aroma is dominated by very ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry and prune), along with chocolate, cocoa, floral aromas and a slight hint of spices (pepper). In the mouth it is a full-bodied wine with great balance between sweetness and richness of structure.

Producer

This most Portuguese of port houses is steeped in 250 years of tradition, and gained its current high reputation during the nineteenth century under the leadership of Dona Antónia Ferreira. Like several important figures in the history of Champagne, she was widowed young, and took control of the family business with a gusto few of her male counterparts could match. The Douro benefited both viticulturally and socially from her various projects, and Ferreira remains blessed with a superb range of vineyard holdings from which to craft their range of full, elegant ports.

Vineyard

All the traditional red grape varieties that were used in this port were carefully selected and hand-picked from Ferreira’s estates in the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior areas.

Winery

Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats, under temperature control, and was stopped through the addition of grape alcohol. The wines selected for the final blend were taken to Ferreira’s traditional lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia where they were aged in oak wood casks, and eventually bottled in their fourth year.
