2016 Ferreira Vintage Vinhas Velhas Porto Porto

Description

Referenced since 1751, Ferreira has always been a synonym for high‑quality Portuguese wine. Its story is intertwined with the evolution of the Demarcated Region of the Douro, 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. Known for her exceptional energy and rare commercial talent, she gave a major boost to viticulture in the Douro and developed a notable social‑assistance program in the region. After her death, the company became a partnership and entered a new phase of expansion, always keeping its core values at heart. These values have carried Ferreira into the present day and were instrumental in creating iconic wines such as the legendary Barca Velha in the 1950s. Since 1987, under the management of Sogrape Vinhos—which has come to lead the national Port‑wine market and also present prestigious brands such as Quinta da Leda—the brand has continued to thrive.
