O Produtor, tasting note published in May 3rd 2024

Color: Deep brick hue.
Aroma: A well-balanced combination of the quality of the original grapes and wine (reflected in floral and ripe fruit aromas) and its oxidative aging in wood (which brings notes of spices and dried fruits).
Flavor: The classic and fresh style of Ferreira is evident, achieving a perfect balance between the different sensations on the palate and a long, persistent finish.

Dona Antónia Ferreira

Porto Ferreira Dona Antónia 10 Years is a special wine, a Tawny Port with an age indication, symbolizing the perfect alliance between the Douro’s unique nature and human expertise, a tradition upheld at Ferreira for over 250 years.

The hand-harvested grapes were vinified using the traditional Port Wine method. The controlled fermentation of the must took place in stainless steel vats and was halted by adding grape spirit. The wines that make up the final blend of Porto Ferreira Dona Antónia Tawny 10 Years remain in the Douro until they are transported to the Ferreira cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia the following spring. Upon arrival, they enter the traditional Port aging system in oak casks, undergoing numerous rackings, analyses, and tastings to monitor their evolution, with necessary adjustments, blending, and refreshing when needed. The final blend typically consists of wines aged between 8 and 15 years, achieving an average age of 10 years while maintaining the consistent quality and unique style of Porto Ferreira Dona Antónia Tawny 10 Years.

Sogrape Vinhos

Sogrape Vinhos was born of the will and courage of a group of friends. In the difficult economic and political environment of 1942, they decided to stake everything on the visionary talents of one man. This man had the vision to create and develop an innovative wine company with a difference, one which could make and promote Portuguese wines on a global scale.

This vision belonged to Fernando van Zeller Guedes, whose character and forceful personality paved the way for a successful venture that many believed was doomed to fail from the outset. The unparalleled foresight and vision of Sogrape’s founder, resulted in the creation of the first global Portuguese wine brand – Mateus Rosé. Sold in over 120 countries, this proved to be such a resounding commercial success that it provided the decisive momentum for the growth as well as affirming the leadership of which the Company is so proud. The willingness to innovate and the ambition to do things differently – along with respect for tradition and the values of ethics and responsibility – marked the birth of an organization that has proved capable of preserving its founder’s vision and adapting to inevitably changing times. Today, led by the third generation of the founding family, Sogrape Vinhos is ever more closely dedicated to meeting the founding objective: to bring the world quality Portuguese wine brands, with sufficient volume to satisfy the needs of different market segments.

From the pioneering days of buying barrels of wine from small producers in the Douro for processing and bottling in a rented cellar in Vila Real, Sogrape Vinhos has steadily grown. Continuous investment has expanded and developed the company’s assets and workforce to such a degree that Sogrape Vinhos owns over 830 hectares of vineyards in all the key Portuguese wine regions. Nowadays, the full scope of Sogrape Vinhos is clearly demonstrated by the breadth and weight of its portfolio. At first glance, what immediately stands out is the presence of two major global Portuguese wine brands – Mateus Rosé and Sandeman as well as the prestigious wines of Porto Ferreira and Offley. Added to which are the renowned specialist brands that represent the major Portugese wine regions. Beginning with the most famous Portuguese wine of all, Barca Velha, the pride of Casa Ferreirinha (Douro) and continuing with the elegant wines of Quinta dos Carvalhais (Dão), the vibrant Herdade do Peso (Alentejo), the fresh Vinhos Verdes of Quinta de Azevedo and Gazela, and the multi-regional Grão Vasco, to name but a few.

To tell the story of Sogrape Vinhos it is essential to retrace the origins and evolution of the plan conceived by this visionary man. And then to appreciate how his successors have inherited his values and pursued them with dedication, vigour and expertise to grow and develop Portugal’s leading wine company. Above all, the achievements of such a large team are promoted with pride and sustained by the ambition to innovate and enhance all that Sogrape Vinhos has to offer.
