Deep ruby colour. Intense aroma, with lots of fruit - bright red fruits, black fruits and stone fruits, especially ripe apricot - enriched with the presence of balsamic aromas, such as resin and cedar. On the palate it reveals a good body, lively acidity and round tannins, with black fruits standing out. Elegant and harmonious finish.

ENJOY

This wine pairs wonderfully with red meat dishes. Very gastronomic, it also serves as a perfect accompaniment to white meat or oven-roasted fish.

EXCELLENCE, NOBILITY AND TRADITION

Under Dona Antónia, who was twice widowed, finding herself in charge of a large company, she consolidated admirably. Her entrepreneurial spirit taught her to predict, decide, create, teach and love, making her a hugely prominent, charismatic figure.

With the death of Dona Antonia, the business became a limited company and began a new stage of adapting to market developments, while remaining rooted in the quality obtained through the unique heritage of its Douro estates, supported by the best œnological methods, to produce excellent wines under one strong brand.

These values carried Casa Ferreirinha all the way to the present day and were crucial to creating and continuing this brand’s great wines as well as constituting a unique heritage and an unparalleled historical archive. Thorough knowledge of the Douro Superior, the features of its climate and soil and carefully selecting the varieties to be used also came to be crucial to the company's strategy. This strategy, backed by 250 years of experience in the Douro Region, in 1978 led Casa Ferreirinha to acquire Quinta da Leda, located at Almendra, Vila Nova de Foz Coa, with its very modern winery which was to be completed by Sogrape Vinhos in 2001.

The grapes of these vineyards, of a quality surpassing the most optimistic expectations, processed using the expertise of a team led by winemaker Luís Sottomayor, provided the basis for Casa Ferreirinha's premium wines, including the renowned Barca Velha and Reserva Especial, and also Quinta da Leda and Callabriga.

This solid framework has allowed Casa Ferreirinha to extend its portfolio to various market segments. Vinha Grande and Esteva, two benchmarks in their own categories, are also marketed under the brand's auspices.

With its bright and attractive colours, the Papa Figos is one of the rarest birds in the Douro. This bird's unique and rare character is the perfect inspiration for this magnificent wine. Papa Figos is both an elegant and vibrant, classic, yet modern wine that accurately reflects the values of Casa Ferreirinha, the brand with the longest tradition in producing high quality Douro wines and one of the greatest references in the region.
