Ferreira `Dona Antónia` 10-Year-Old White Port from Douro, Portugal, is a magnificent fortified white wine. This sweet port is crafted from late-harvested Rabigato, Gouveio, Códega, and Malvasia Fina grapes, then aged oxidatively in oak barrels for 8 to 15 years, developing its signature amber hue. It offers intense aromas of dried citrus peel, roasted nuts, caramel, and baking spices. The palate beautifully balances richness and elegance with a linear acidity, carrying evolved flavours to a lingering finish. A superb vegetarian wine, it pairs wonderfully with mature cheeses or as a sophisticated aperitif.

37.5CL , 20.0% ABV

Upon arrival at the Quinta do Sairrão winery, the late harvested grapes were destemmed and gently crushed. The skins were left in contact with the must throughout the fermentation, with multiple pump overs. This resulted in an intensely aromatic port with a rich texture on the palate. 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 'Dona Antónia' 10-Year-Old White Port is a carefully crafted blend of wines between 8 to 15 years of age.

This opulent 10-Year-Old White Port displays an amber hue, offering intense aromas of dried citrus peel, nuts, caramel, and baking spices. On the palate, it beautifully balances richness with a linear acidity, leading to a lingering finish of evolved flavours.
