Porto Ferreira Dona Antónia Branco

As a tribute to Ferreirinha, the Dona Antónia range has now been renewed and strengthened with a Reserva Branco to accompany the existing Reserva Tawny. In the Douro it has always been a betrayal to plant white grapes. And while at the time the aim was to have wines with little personality that could eventually be mixed with red wines to give them lightness and a more open color, today the objectives are quite different. Acidity and structure that give the wines a good ageing capacity, worthy of a reserve category, are the characteristics that the winemaking team led by Luís Sottomayor is looking for in the Douro Superior to produce the new Dona Antónia Reserva Branco. Ferreirinha itself was a pioneer in the Douro Superior and records from 1852 indicate that as early as the mid-19th century, Dona Antónia was producing white wines that serve as a legacy for this Porto Ferreira.
