Casa Ferreirinha
About Casa Ferreirinha
With origins dating back to 1952, this estate is named after Dona Antónia Ferreira, one of the formidable widows of the world of wine who ran Ferreira Port in the late 1800s. Paying homage to the memory of this visionary woman, Casa Ferreirinha is as fine a legacy as anyone could wish. Luís Sottomayor is now at the helm, expertly tempering the Douro’s natural exuberance to produce wines that have a vibrant freshness allied to a wonderful texture and depth.

Because this trio of wines runs in a neat sequence, I made one consecutive note to cover all three vintages – a direct comparative tasting note, if you will. 2016 is my preferred wine – it is the grandest, and it has the most potential. It is one of the finest value, elite reds I have tasted in a very long time. The 2017 is more refined, the most forward, most restaurant friendly and most open. It is lighter, more herbal, and it will get you in the mood while the others have a chance to mellow. I will hold back on any more notes on this wine because it is my MoneyWeek wine of the week this Friday! Finally, the 2018, which is a beauty. More flamboyant, more plush and sensual, and it is not dissimilar to the 2016 in fruit expression, but it is not quite as powerful or as impactful. Either way, you need all three in your collection because if you like each of these wines for their respective character traits, I can imagine you will follow this label for the rest of your days.د.إ1,010.00
