Colour

Clean, clear and bright. Cherry color with garnet reflections, where it has an intensity of medium - high layer. Very nice to look at.

AROMA:

On the nose it is a candy that mesmerizes you from the first contact. It is the intensity and complexity in balance, linking aromas of cherries, plums, blackberries and figs evolved into jam, and where they are sprayed with hints of nutmeg, cloves and more subtly licorice, and all driven by small brushstrokes of 'a delicious wood.

TASTE:

Mouth where elegance is the distinguishing feature of this wine. Voluptuous on the palate and slightly fleshy, it is harmonized with a freshness, ripe tannins and slightly sweet.

Ideal to pair with red and game meats, cod with ratatouille, tagliatelle with ragout sauce, cream cheeses, mushroom cream, stuffed eggplant, etc.

This producer, founded in 1952, is named after the legendary Porto matriarch Dona Antónia Ferreira. She was affectionately nicknamed 'Ferreirinha' by her countrymen, and Casa Ferreirinha, the first producer in the region dedicated to making light wines, pays homage to her memory. Purchased by Sogrape in 1987, it has 520 hectares of vineyard in the Douro in all of its three sub-regions: Baixo Corgo, Cimar Corgo and Douro Superior. The winemaking is headed up by Luís Sottomayor, who restrains the Douro’s natural exuberance to produce wines that have a freshness allied to a lovely depth and texture.
