Casa Ferreirinha Colheita Tardia 2011 is an attractive bright straw-yellow in colour. It has ripe tropical fruit aromas such as passion fruit, pineapple in syrup, and a slight touch of melon, as well as aromas typical of late harvest wines such as candied orange peel and a hint of marmalade. It has good acidity and is not over-sweet, and the finish is long and elegant.

ENJOY

Casa Ferreirinha Colheita Tardia is excellent on its own before a meal, or with a starter such as foie gras. It is also a fine match for some tangy desserts such as ricotta with cinnamon-laced pumpkin jam.

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.

Casa Ferreirinha Colheita Tardia is an outstanding, intense, sweet wine, made in limited quantities only in exceptional years. It perfect at the start or the end of a meal. This 2011 vintage of the Colheita Tardia is only the second ever to have been made available to the public. It sits within the speciality portfolio of Casa Ferreirinha, the oldest quality wine brand in the Douro, and one of the region’s main standard-bearers the world over.
