1997 Ferreira Lbv Porto Porto

Description

Founded in 1751, Ferreira has long been a synonym for high‑quality Portuguese wine. Its story is intertwined with the evolution of the Douro’s Demarcated Region, established in 1756, and its Port and still wines. Years later, the family business was taken over by Antónia Adelaide, widow of António Bernardo II. Renowned for her exceptional energy and rare commercial acumen, she gave viticulture in the Douro a great boost and spearheaded a notable social‑assistance program in the area. After her death, the company became a limited partnership and entered a new phase of expansion, always staying true to its core values. Those values have carried Ferreira to the present day and were instrumental in creating wines such as the legendary Barca Velha in the 1950s. Since 1987, under the management of Sogrape Vinhos, the company has led the national market for Port wines and introduced prestigious labels such as Quinta da Leda.
