- Deep ruby in colour. The nose has great intensity and complexity with aromas of blackberry and black cherry married with floral nuances, balsamic notes and tobacco box spice. On the palate, it is both powerful and elegant, with firm but rounded tannins, a subtle stony minerality and a well-integrated acidity that carries the brooding black fruit and spice flavours onto the long and harmonious finish.

Vinified at the Quinta do Seixo winery, the grapes were foot-trodden in granite lagares. This traditional method achieves the perfect levels of colour, tannin and flavour extraction. When the ideal balance between these components was achieved, the fermentation was halted by fortification with top-quality grape spirit. The wine remained at Quinta do Seixo over the winter and was then transported to the Ferreira cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia in the spring of 2019, where it was aged in oak casks. During this period the wine underwent several rackings and careful analysis and tasting by Luís Sottomayor. The final blend was assembled from his careful selection of the finest casks, and the 2018 Vintage declaration was made in April 2020.

| Winery | Grapes for the Ferreira Vintage Ports are sourced from the best plots on the Quinta do Porto and Quinta do Caêdo estates. Quinta do Porto is the oldest Ferreira property, planted in 1771 and acquired by Dona Antónia in 1863. Located in the heart of the Cima Corgo, on the north bank of the Douro River, it is a prime vineyard location with excellent southerly exposure, schist soils and a large proportion of old vines, described by Luís Sottomayor as 'over retirement age'. The Quinta do Caêdo vineyards are on both sides of the Caêdo tributary on the south bank. The terraces are supported by dry stone walls over 100 years of age. Both estates are sustainably farmed and the grapes are harvested by hand. |
