Dona Antonia Adelaide was born in the city of Peso da Regua in 1811 and belonged to the 4th generation of this distinguished Port producing family. Over her lifetime, she invested much of her considerable fortune in planting and improving the estate. Following her death in 1896, the business became a limited company and began a new phase building on the legacy of its Douro estates. Casa Ferreirinha was acquired by Sogrape Vinhos in 1987.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFerreirinha owns four properties in the Upper Corgo subregion of the Douro ? Quinta do Seixo, Quinta da Leda, Quinta de Porto and Quinta do Caedo near Pinhao. All benefit from a Mediterranean climate, with its long growing season of moderate to warm temperatures. The estate fruit is hand-picked and gently crushed, followed by fermentation and maceration on the skins with pumping-over. The flagship of the estate is Barca Velha, considered by many to be the ne plus ultra example of its type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWinemaker Luis Sottomayor studied in Australia and France and holds a post-graduate degree in Oenology from Escola Superior de Biotecnologia do Porto, Portugal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Douro Valley, with its harsh climate and steep landscape, is where the grapes that produce this incomparable wine are harvested. With its unique aromatic intensity and bright yellow color, this wine evokes the singular beauty of the Douro highlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"The 2014 Branco Reserva Planalto (Casa Ferreirinha) is a white bargain even though it is a mass-market wine (about 125,000 cases). It is an unoaked blend of 35% Viosinho; 15% each of Malvasia Fina, Gouveio, Códega and Arinto; and 5% Moscatel. This shows good purity of fruit, a lovely, fresh feel, some viscosity and some precision. It hangs together well and drinks great. This is a very good vintage for it.

Shortbread accents show on the long, rich finish.
