Description

Barca Velha from vinatge 2004 has an intense ruby colour and a great harmony of complex aromas, with a strong presence of well-ripened red fruits, floral nuances of lavender and violet, and an excellent component of spices. In the mouth, it is voluminous, with lively and well-integrated acidity and excellent quality tannins. The finish is very long and complex, with remarkable delicacy and structure at the same time.

Casa Ferreirinha, acquired by Sogrape Vinhos in 1987, and its wines are synonymous with time and art. This has been the case since its foundation, in the 18th century, by the hand of Bernardo Ferreira, who saw the formula refined by his descendants, especially by his granddaughter Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, who affectionately became known as "Ferreirinha" or "Ferreirinha-da-Régua" by the people of her land. By the hands of Dona Antónia, who was twice widowed at the head of a large company, Ferreira was admirably consolidated. Her entrepreneurial spirit taught her to foresee, decide, create, teach and love, making her a figure of great projection and charisma. Thus, Barca Velha was also created, an unquestionable symbol of the highest quality Douro wines. Classic, intense, complex and elegant are the adjectives that describe what has been, since its creation in 1952, the most celebrated Portuguese wine. Barca Velha is the foundation on which Casa Ferreirinha's reputation has grown, being declared in truly exceptional years.
