Producer Information

Porto Ferreira is a Port producer founded in 1751. It is billed as the only one of the great Port houses to have remained in Portuguese ownership throughout its history. The marque is now part of the giant Sogrape Vinhos company. Other Port labels under the same ownership are Offley and Sandeman. The portfolio begins with a Ruby, which unusually, is the only red Port. There are four white Ports; a Branco, a Branco Seco (dry white), a sweeter Lgrima and a Dona Antnia Reserva Branco. A quartet of Tawny Ports completes the current line up. The standard bottling is joined by three Dona Antnia wines, a Reserva, a 10 Year Old and a 20 Year Old. The Ferreira family have owned vines in what is now the Douro DOC since the mid 18th Century. The company grew considerably in the early 19th Century. Dona Antnia took over the business in 1844 as a 33-year old widow. She was well known throughout the region for her commercial sense, as well as her acts of social welfare, and earned the nickname Ferreirinha (“little Ferreira”). The emphasis on Tawny Port at Ferreira reflects her personal preference.
