Product Notes

Casa Ferreirinha Reserva Especial Douro Tinto is an extraordinary Portuguese wine from the Douro Valley. Displaying a rich, ruby-hued colour, this exceptional red wine boasts intense aromas of ripe red fruits, harmoniously intertwined with vanilla, spices, and hints of oak. Its palate seduces with layers of plum, black cherry and dark chocolate, underpinned by firm, yet velvety tannins. Aged meticulously, the wine imparts complexity and maturity, culminating in a long, smooth finish. Best served with robust meals, this decadent varietal strikes a delicate balance between vibrant fruit and refined elegance, making it a distinct classic of the Casa Ferreirinha portfolio.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in colour. On the nose, intense aromas of dark fruit are married with spicy notes of pepper, cedar and tobacco box, menthol hints and a subtle slate-like minerality. Assertive yet elegant on the palate, with firm but velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity which carries the complex flavours onto the lingering and harmonious finish. A wine of great complexity, power and grace.
