Ferreira Dona Antónia 10 Years Old Tawny Port in a gift tin

A classic 10-year-old Tawny from the Ferreira house — one of the oldest and most traditional port wine houses in the Douro Valley, founded in 1751. The gift box makes it an easy-to-bring a gift or an introduction to the world of aged port wines.

Ferreira has been one of the premier wineries in the Douro for generations. The Dona Antónia line is named after Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, the legendary 19th-century businesswoman who saved the estate from the phylloxera epidemic and expanded it. The 10 Year Old Tawny is a blend of several vintages, aged for an average of ten years in small oak barrels (pipas) – during which time the wine acquires its characteristic mahogany color and develops oxidative complexity.

In the glass, aromas of dried figs, walnut, and hazelnut emerge, along with cinnamon bark and a hint of orange peel. On the palate, it is silky with a delicate sweetness that fades to a drier, spicy-nutty finish. The texture is smooth, and the finish is medium-long.
