2006 Ferreira Colheita Porto Porto

Description

Referenced since 1751, Ferreira has always been synonymous with high-quality Portuguese wine. The history of the brand is intertwined with the evolution of the Douro Demarcated Region, delimited in 1756, and of its Port Wines and still wines. 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 gave a great boost to viticulture in the Douro and carried out notable social welfare work in the region. After her death, the company became a limited partnership (sociedade por quotas), and a new phase of expansion began, while always upholding its core values. These values carried Ferreira through 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 Port Wine market and also presents prestigious wine brands, such as Quinta da Leda.
