2001 Ferreira Colheita Porto Porto

Description

Referenced since 1751, Ferreira has always been a synonym for high-quality Portuguese wine. The history of the brand is intertwined with the evolution of the Douro Demarcated Region, established in 1756, and of its Port wines and still wines. Some years later, the family company came to be managed by Antónia Adelaide, widow of António Bernardo II. Known for her exceptional energy and rare commercial talent, she was able to give a major boost to viticulture in the Douro and developed a notable social welfare activity in the region. Upon her death, the company became a limited partnership (sociedade por quotas), and a new phase of expansion began, always maintaining its core values. These values carried Ferreira through to the present day and were instrumental in the creation of legendary wines such as Barca Velha, in the 1950s. Since 1987, under the management of Sogrape Vinhos, the company has led the national Port wine market and also presents prestigious wine brands, such as Quinta da Leda.
