Porto Ferreira Dona Antónia Tawny 10 Years Old has a deep tawny hue with red hints. Its aroma is characterized by an excellent balance between the quality of its original grapes and wine (noticeable in its floral and ripe fruit aromas) and its ageing through oxidation in wood (which gives it spicy and nutty aromas). In the mouth, the classic and fresh style of the Ferreira brand is conspicuous, achieving a fine balance between the different sensations in the wine body and in the long final in the mouth.

Porto Ferreira

Porto Ferreira is a Port producer founded in 1751. It is billed as the only one of the great Port houses to have remained in Portuguese ownership throughout its history. The marque is now part of the giant Sogrape Vinhos company. Other Port labels under the same ownership are Offley and Sandeman. The portfolio begins with a Ruby, which unusually, is the only red Port. There are four white Ports; a Branco, a Branco Seco (dry white), a sweeter Lágrima and a Dona Antónia Reserva Branco.

A quartet of Tawny Ports completes the current line up. The standard bottling is joined by three Dona Antónia wines, a Reserva, a 10 Year Old and a 20 Year Old. The Ferreira family have owned vines in what is now the Douro DOC since the mid 18th Century. The company grew considerably in the early 19th Century. Dona Antónia took over the business in 1844 as a 33-year old widow.
