"In homage to 'the Ferreirinha', the Dona Antónia range has now been modernized and strengthened with the addition of a Reserva White alongside the existing Reserva Tawny. There have always been white grapes planted in the Douro Valley. In former times, they were used to make wine with minimal character destined to be blended with red wines, lightening them in both color and body. Today, our objectives are quite different. The winemaking team, led by Luís Sottomayor, specifically seeks out Upper Douro grapes worthy of reserve status to make the new Dona Antónia Reserva White, with the kind of acidity and structure that will ensure maximum ageing potential. 'The Ferreirinha' herself was something of a pioneer in the Upper Douro, and record books of 1852 show that, as early as the mid-19th century, Dona Antónia was producing white wines that were the predecessors of this new white Porto Ferreira." Bright and juicy, offering red plum, dark currant and wild cherry flavors with fruitcake notes Finishes with dried mint, dark chocolate and anise.
