She took the helm in 1845 and oversaw a period of great expansion during which the company planted some of the most iconic \u003cstrong\u003eQuintas of the Douro Valley including: Quinta do Porto, Quinta do Seixo, Quinta do Caêdo and Quinta do Vesúvio.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Ferreira Ports, now made by head winemaker Luis Sottomayor, are renowned for their elegance and harmony.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe grapes for the Ferreira Vintage Ports are \u003cstrong\u003esourced from the best plots on the Quinta do Porto and Quinta do Caêdo estates\u003c\/strong\u003e. Quinta do Porto is the oldest Ferreira property located in the heart of the Douro region, near the town of Pinhão. It is a prime vineyard location with excellent southerly exposure and schist soils. The Quinta do Caêdo vineyards are positioned on steep terraces on both sides of the Caêdo tributary to the Douro river. The rows of vines are terraced with supporting dry stone walls (solcalcos) and the estate boasts many vines of over 100 years of age. Both estates are sustainably farmed, and the grapes are harvested by hand.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScoring a perfect 100 points from the Wine Enthusiast's Roger Voss\u003c\/strong\u003e, and supported with a score of 94-96 points from the Wine Advocate's Mark Squires,\u003cstrong\u003e there is a lot to love about the 2018 vintage already. Deeply coloured, with intense and complex floral and baslsamic notes,  resin, cedar, tobacco, black fruits, pepper and stoney minerals on the finish. Powerful tannins and elegant, well integrated acidity frame a long, lively finish of great harmony.\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018 was challenging year in the Douro for those making dry reds but for Port production it was a dream. An extremely dry and cold winter delayed budburst and a particularly rainy spring led to increased disease pressure in the vineyards, which resulted in lower yields. Nevertheless, these lower yields and a long and steady ripening period during the hot, dry summer resulted in top-quality grapes with great concentration, creating a Ferreira 2018 that really is a \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"potential beauty\u003c\/em\u003e\"\u003c\/strong\u003e (Wine Advocate).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComing from the best plots across the most iconic Ferreira and Sandeman vineyards, this 2018 is made from a blend of 45% Touriga Franca and 40% Touriga Nacional, with rest made up of an old vine field-blend and a small amount of Sousão.

Highly scored by Jancis Robinson, this is a unique item that collectors with any interest in very mature drinks should undoubtedly consider.

Domingos’ son Antonio, father of the current owners, was aware of the wine’s potential greatness and decided to leave the family ‘treasure’ to his heirs, and 13 years after his death in 1956, the wine was tasted and believed to not only be of exceptional quality but to still have plenty of life left in it. In 2013 the wines were re-tasted and almost all of it was found to be in perfect condition, so a small quantity was re-bottled and offered for sale.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eN.B.
