Bright lemon in colour with green nuances. Intense aromas of white peach, melon, pear and orange blossom are married with a subtle minerality and a buttery richness from the oak. On the palate there is a creamy mouthfeel and a refreshing acidity that beautifully balances the intense flavours that linger on the long finish.

 

Casa Ferreirinha was the first Douro producer dedicated entirely to making table wines, rather than Port. Its origins date back to 1952 when Fernando Nicolau de Almeida produced the first ever vintage of Barca-Velha and kickstarted the quality revolution in Douro table wines. Named after the legendary Dona Antónia Ferreira, one of the formidable widows of the world of wine, Casa Ferreirinha pays homage to the memory of this visionary woman. Today, the winemaking team is headed up by Luís Sottomayor, who restrains the Douro’s natural exuberance to produce wines that have a vibrant freshness allied to a lovely texture and depth.
