WINE DESCRIPTION

Ferreira Duque de Bragança 20 Year Tawny Port is a premium fortified wine produced by Ferreira, one of the oldest and most respected Port houses in Portugal. This wine is made from carefully selected grapes grown in the Douro Valley, a region known for its steep terraced vineyards and unique microclimate. The winemaking process involves aging the wine in oak barrels for 20 years, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of dried fruit, nuts, and caramel. This Tawny Port is a perfect example of the style, with a smooth and silky texture and a long, lingering finish.

ORIGINS

Winery: Ferreira

Region: Douro

The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines. The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.
