Produced at Quinta do Seixo and vinified mostly from grapes selected from our wine estates, specifically, those from high altitude areas. After soft-crushing and destemming, the grapes are transferred to stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation at controlled temperatures takes place. This wine remains in stainless steel tanks after malolactic fermentation. At the end of winter, it undergoes its first racking to separate sediment. The final blend is made from a selection of wines, which are subject to numerous tests and analysis throughout maturation. In order to preserve the highest possible quality, the wine is bottled further to careful finishing processes. All the technology employed is focused on producing a "young" wine.
Since 1751, the Ferreira name has been synonymous with high-quality Portuguese wines. The first Portuguese owned Port house, its history is intertwined with the the evolution of the Douro Region and its wines.
The story of Ferreira is inextricably associated with one extraordinary woman. Daughter of one of the company’s founders, Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira was born in the country town of Régua, gateway to the wines of the Douro Valley, in 1811. Though small in stature and reserved by nature, Dona Antónia was charismatic, visionary and entrepreneurial. She created new expanses of terraced vineyards and improved the hard lives of local farming families. The local people’s affectionatley called her ‘A Ferreirinha’ – ‘the little Ferreira’. When ‘The Ferreirinha’ died in 1896, she left behind a portfolio of great Douro estates and an immensely successful business.
