Product details
Hand-picked at the optimum stage of ripening, the grapes undergo de-stemming and are vinified following Porto's traditional methods. Fermentation takes place under controlled temperatures and is arrested through the addition of grape alcohol when the winemaker is satisfied the correct level of sweetness has been reached. Each grape variety has its own point for arresting fermentation, determined by the wine's intensity, richness of ripening and required degree of sweetness. The final balance between the body and the bouquet of Porto Wine arises from the combination of the different characteristics of each variety used. The wine remains in the Douro, where the Winter cold helps the lees to settle out. In the following Spring, after racking, it is taken to the Ferreira lodges at Vila Nova de Gaia and stored in oak casks, where it ages for several years, acquiring the Ferreira brand's incomparable style. During ageing, the wines are monitored and tasted by the winemaking team, which blends them until the final blend, to represent the characteristics and style of Porto Ferreira Dry White, is obtained. The selected wines are usually aged between 2 and 5 year old, ensuring a rich and balanced wine.
