Ferreira `Dona Antónia` 10-Year-Old Tawny Port from Douro, Portugal is a superb Red Fortified wine, offering a delightful sweet experience. Crafted from Tinta Barroca, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinto Cão, and Tinta Amarela grapes, it undergoes fermentation in stainless-steel vats before fortification and oxidative ageing in oak barrels. This elegant and aromatic Port reveals mellow red fruit, roasted nuts, marmalade, and caramel notes. A vibrant acidity perfectly balances the sweetness, leading to a rich and smooth finish. It pairs wonderfully with mature cheeses or fruit-based desserts.

75.0CL , 20.0% ABV

Upon arrival at the Quinta do Seixo winery, the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation took place in stainless-steel vats with vigorous punch downs to extract the ideal levels of colour, flavour and tannin before fortification. The ferment was closely monitored to determine the ideal moment to halt the fermentation by fortifying with grape spirit, leaving some of the grapes' natural sugars. The wines remained in the Douro until the spring following the harvest when they were transported downstream to the historic Ferreira cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia for oxidative ageing in oak barrels. The 10-Year-Old Tawny is a carefully crafted blend of wines between 8 to 15 years of age.

This elegant and aromatic Tawny Port offers a delightful blend of mellow red fruit, roasted nuts, marmalade, and caramel. On the palate, a vibrant acidity beautifully balances the sweetness, leading to a rich and smooth finish.
