Porto Ferreira 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 of both temperature and wine density, making it possible for the winemaker to choose the ideal moment for the addition of wine alcohol, fundamental to halt fermentation and keep the natural sweetness of Porto Wine. That moment depends on vine varieties, stage of maturation and final sweetness levels required. After the harvest, the wine stays in the Douro, where the Winter cold helps lees to settle. The following Spring, the wines are transferred to the traditional company lodges at Villa Nova de Gaia and stored in oak casks, where they age for several years. During their ageing, the oenology team monitors the wines and through blending, refreshes and corrects whenever tasting so determines. The final blend is obtained with a selection of wines that incorporate the appropriate characteristics and ages between 2 and 5 years, making it possible to maintain Porto Ferreira Tawny´s unique identity and an average age of 4 years.
