INFO: Casa Ferreirinha was the first Douro producer dedicated entirely to making table wines, rather than Port.
Vinified using state-of-the-art winemaking technology at both the Quinta do Seixo winery in the Cima Corgo and the Quinta da Leda winery in the Douro Superior. The grapes were destemmed and gently crushed prior to fermentation in temperature- controlled stainless-steel tanks with regular punch downs and pump overs. An extended maceration on the skins ensured optimal extraction of colour, flavour and tannin. The wine was then transferred to used French oak barrels and aged for around 12 months before the final blend was assembled and then bottled.
Deep ruby in colour. On the nose, this wine showcases intense aromas of blackberry, red cherry and plum alongside floral nuances and savoury notes of balsamic, cedar, tobacco box and spice. Velvety tannins and a well-integrated acidity on the palate with a long, harmonious finish.
A vibrant freshness allied to a lovely texture and depth.
