Casa Ferreirinha – 13% ABV Papa Figos Douro Branco 75cl

The Papa Figos Branco is lemon yellow in colour with golden hints. The nose has complex aromas with predominant notes of white stone and tropical fruit, with hints of citrus, flowers and a touch of minerality. On the palate, it has a refreshing acidity and notes of fresh pear. The finish is long and elegant.

Casa Ferreirinha was the first Douro producer dedicated entirely to making table wines, rather than Port. Its origins date back to 1952 when Fernando Nicolau de Almeida produced the first ever vintage of Barca-Velha and kickstarted the quality revolution in Douro table wines. Named after the legendary Dona Antónia Ferreira, one of the formidable widows of the world of wine, Casa Ferreirinha pays homage to the memory of this visionary woman. Today, the winemaking team is headed up by Luís Sottomayor, who restrains the Douro’s natural exuberance to produce wines that have a vibrant freshness allied to a lovely texture and depth.
