Porto Ferreira Dona Antónia Tawny

Created by a family of Douro winegrowers in 1751, Ferreira has a rich tradition and a prominent role in the history of Port wine. Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira contributed significantly to the consolidation of the brand. A legendary woman with a unique personality, she became a myth and a symbol of strength, facing the adversities of the Douro in the 19th century. Ferreira Dona Antónia Port has a strong red color. Its aroma is intense and rich, with nuances of very ripe fruit (plum, apricot and jam) and floral notes, made more complex by the hints of spices and dried fruit that come from oxidation in oak. On the palate, it's a full-bodied wine with rich flavors. It has a fine, elegant finish with great persistence. This Port is very versatile, as it goes very well with a wide variety of cheeses and classic Portuguese desserts: from Serra de Estrela and Azeitão, to egg sweets and tarts, sponge cake, raisin sweets, jams and fruit. Served slightly chilled, it's very good plain and goes very well with various appetizers, starters and salads.
