In the Glass — Tasting Notes

A luminous golden pour with plump raisin and marmalade on the nose, touched by floral whispers and subtle peppery lift. The palate sings where sweetness meets bright acidity—refinement rather than richness—while seven years in oak add roundness without burying the concentrated fruit, carrying those rich dried-fruit flavours onto an elegant finish.

The Winery — Ferreira

Portugal's oldest Port house, founded in 1751, Ferreira thrives under winemaker Luís Sottomayor, who sources grapes from prime Douro vineyard sites and the flagship Quinta do Porto. His philosophy celebrates exuberant ripeness and structural weight tempered by wonderful balance. This blend of five white varieties—Malvasia Fina leading at 30%, with Rabigato, Viosinho, Códega and Arinto—was harvested late and co-fermented on skins to extract texture and aroma. Fortification was calibrated to preserve natural sugar while maintaining the acidity that keeps the wine lively rather than ponderous. At 20% ABV, it sits confidently within the Sweet Wine category.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving
