DESCRIPTION
Sogrape is Portugal's leading wine company, with an unparalleled presence, top brands and exceptional vineyards in the country’s main wine-growing regions: Vinho Verde, Douro/Porto, Dão, Bairrada, Bucelas and the Alentejo. Sogrape combines its in-house production with the purchasing of grapes from thousands of growers in a collective effort which nurtures – and brings to the world – the very best in Portuguese wines.
Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira (1811-1896), affectionately popularized by her fellow Douro residents as “Ferreirinha”, was one of the most notable personalities in the history of the Douro Wine Region.
A woman who became a symbol not only of Douro entrepreneurship and viticulture, but also a greater example of altruism and generosity towards those most in need.

VINIFICATION
The wines are aged in cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, in traditional oak casks of approximately 640 litres. During this period, they are frequently subjected to racking, analyses and tastings, which allow their evolution to be monitored. The final blend is usually obtained using wines aged between 25 and 40 years, in order to obtain the Ferreira quality and style in a port with an average age of 30 years.

TASTING NOTES
Intense aroma of excellent complexity, with spicy notes of pepper, ginger and nutmeg, balsamic notes of wax and tobacco case, slight aniseed and hints of very ripe red fruit. Excellent volume in the mouth, with vibrant acidity, lots of spices, namely pepper, hint of jam, with an extremely elegant and almost endless finish.

SERVING
