Product details
Hand-picked grapes were vinified under the traditional Porto method. Controlled fermentation of musts took place in stainless steel vats and was interrupted through the addition of wine alcohol, which results in high sugar and alcohol contents in the finished product. The wines that make up Porto Ferreira White 10 Years Old´s final blend remain in the Douro after the harvest and are taken to V.N.Gaia the following Spring. On arrival they are transferred to oak casks and are subjected to numerous transfers, analyses and tastings, which make it possible not only to monitor their maturation but, most importantly, to intervene through blending, refreshing and corrections whenever tasting so determines. The final blend is generally obtained using wines of between 8 and 15 years of age, so as to obtain an average age of 10 years and to maintain the consistency of Porto Ferreira White 10 Years Old´s quality and unique style.

Tasting Notes:
It has a yellow-amber hue with fine golden shades. Its intense and complex bouquet, where tropical fruits predominate, is harmoniously integrated with balmy notes and spices arising from the long ageing in wood. In the mouth, the Ferreira brand´s classical and fresh style is well in evidence, and it has an extremely rich and long finish.
