Tasting Notes
The intense aroma is dominated by very ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry and prune), along with chocolate, cocoa, floral aromas and a slight hint of spices (pepper).
In the mouth it is a full-bodied wine with great balance between sweetness and richness of structure.
Late Bottled Vintage Port, Ferreira-Portugal 2019
£26.99 incl VAT + Delivery
This most Portuguese of port houses is steeped in 250 years of tradition, and gained its current high reputation during the nineteenth century under the leadership of Dona Antonia Ferreira. Like several important figures in the history of Champagne, she was widowed young, and took control of the family business with a gusto few of her male counterparts could match.
The Douro benefited both viticulturally and socially from her various projects, and Ferreira remains blessed with a superb range of vineyard holdings from which to craft their range of full, elegant ports.
All the traditional red grape varieties that were used in this port were carefully selected and hand-picked from Ferreira’s estates in the Cima Corgo and Douro Superior areas.
