Tasting
Bright golden color with nuances of brick. Intense aroma of excellent complexity, with spicy notes of pepper, ginger and nutmeg, balsamic notes of wax and tobacco case, slight aniseed and hints of very ripe red fruit. Excellent volume in the mouth, with vibrant acidity, lots of spices, namely pepper, hint of jam, with an extremely elegant and almost endless finish.
Maturation
The wines are aged in cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia, in traditional oak casks of approximately 640 liters. During this period, they are frequently subjected to racking, analyzes and tastings, which allow their evolution to be monitored. The final blend is usually obtained using wines aged between 25 and 40 years, in order to obtain the Ferreira quality and style in a port with an average age of 30 years.
