Tasting
Porto Ferreira White has an appealing yellow-straw hue and a fresh but intense aroma, with attractive floral and fruit tones. Soft and very well balanced in the mouth, it is a rich and full wine, with added complexity and nobility deriving from a careful aging in wood.
Maturation
After the harvest, the wine stays in the Douro, where the winter cold helps them to settle. The following Spring, the wines are transferred to the traditional company lodges at VNGaia and stored in oak casks, where they will age for several years. During their aging, the oenology team monitors the wines and acts through blending, refreshing and corrections whenever tasting so determined. The wines selected for the final blend are usually between 2 and 5 years old, ensuring an end product that is rich and balanced, with about 3 years of age.
Store
The bottle should be kept upright, protected from direct light and excessive humidity at a constant temperature of 16ºC-18ºC.
Serve
Porto Ferreira White is bottled ready for drinking and will not improve if kept for a long time. Serves between 6ºC-10ºC. When opened it does not require decanting and maintains fresh tasting notes for about 4 weeks.
