Casa Ferreirinha Antonia Adelaide Ferreira Branco 2016

€ 52.85

A masterpiece of a white wine. It has a bright golden color with light lemon nuances. The aroma is intense and complex with notes of dried fruit such as fig and hazelnut, fresh white fruit such as pear and

melon, light bushy notes of boxwood, minerality and a discreet and very good complexity due to barrel maturation, nicely integrated. In the mouth it shows excellent volume, well integrated intense acidity, fruit notes

white and citrus fruits. The aftertaste is breathtakingly long

The patriarch of the Ferreira family started commercial activity in the mid-18th century. However, the foundations of the business were the result of the action of their grandchildren, José Bernardo and António Bernardo, in the early 1800s, when they significantly increased the agricultural heritage they inherited. The marriage between his descendants, cousins António Bernardo II and Antónia Adelaide, would consolidate a unique legacy and indelibly mark Ferreira's future. After becoming a widow, Dona Antónia took over the business of the company which she strengthened and increased thanks to her entrepreneurial spirit and charisma. Her intelligence and kindness won the warm admiration of her contemporaries, who affectionately called her "Ferreirinha". The acquisition of Ferreira, in 1987, by Sogrape made it possible to preserve and increase the heritage, historical and cultural heritage of Ferreira.
