Casa Ferreirinha, "Papa Figos", Douro Branco, 2024

STORY BEHIND THE LABEL 

Casa Ferreirinha represents the pinnacle of Portuguese winemaking, rooted in the 19th-century work of the legendary Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira. Affectionately known by locals as "Ferreirinha," she was a visionary who not only expanded the estate's terraced vineyards but also transformed the Douro region by investing in schools and hospitals for her community. This legacy of excellence continues today under the stewardship of the Sogrape Vinhos family, who maintain the estate’s deep connection to the land and its people.

The estate benefits from the rugged schist soils and mountain-protected climate of the UNESCO-listed Douro Valley, a terroir that produces wines with unmatched aging potential. By combining this exceptional environment with centuries of know-how, Casa Ferreirinha remains defined by a deep respect for its heritage.
