Vinha Grande Tinto

Description

“This Vinha Grande from Casa Ferreirinha is a true Douro icon – boasting nearly 250 years of tradition, a heritage carefully nurtured by Luís Sottomayor. Crafted primarily from Tinta Barroca, Touriga Nacional, and Aragonez, the result is a wine of considerable power and remarkable longevity. Fermentation, meticulously controlled in stainless steel tanks, is enhanced with extended skin contact, contributing to a rich, textured mouthfeel. Aging in ex-French oak barrels then layers in complexity – think blackberry, plum, cedar, and a hint of resin. Achieving a remarkable 88 points in *Revista de Vinhos*, the wine showcases a beautiful balance of firm tannins and vibrant acidity, ending with an incredibly long and harmonious finish. It’s a fantastic match for a hearty cod dish or grilled meats – a predictably sophisticated and rewarding choice.”
