Dona Antonia Reserva Tawny

Dona Antónia Reserva Tawny is vinified using the traditional Porto Wine method. Hand-picked grapes are softly crushed and, after partial stalk-removal, fermented with maceration allowing the best components of the grape skins to be extracted. The whole process takes place under strict control, making it possible for the winemaker to choose the ideal moment for the addition of brandy, fundamental to halt fermentation and keep natural sweetness.

The final blend is composed with wines from different ages and origins to achieve a consistency of style and quality typical of Porto Ferreira Dona Antónia Reserva Tawny. The selected wines usually vary between 4 and 12 years of age, achieving an average age of about 7 years.

Dona Antónia Reserva Tawny has a beautiful red colour, with intense tawny shades that recall its slow maturation in wood. Its bouquet is intense and rich with hints of very ripe fruit (plum, apricot and marmalade) and floral notes. Complex, its spice and nutty notes derive from the evolution in oak wood.

Porto Ferreira Dona Antónia Reserva Tawny is ready for drinking and will not improve if kept for a long time. Serve between 12ºC-16ºC. When opened it does not require decanting and maintains fresh tasting notes for about 2 months.
