Vinha Grande Red

Casa Ferreirinha is one of the Douro Valley's most historic producers, widely recognised for pioneering high‑quality unfortified wines in a region long dominated by port. With holdings spanning all three Douro sub‑regions, the estate draws on schist‑terraced vineyards where touriga nacional, touriga Franca and tinta roriz thrive in extreme climatic conditions.

Vinha Grande Red is sourced from higher‑elevation parcels that preserve acidity and aromatic lift. Grapes undergo temperature‑controlled fermentation to maintain purity of fruit, followed by ageing in French oak to build structure and refine the tannin profile without overwhelming the Douro's natural intensity. Casa Ferreirinha's winemaking philosophy emphasises balance and longevity, producing wines that combine depth with freshness. Vinha Grande Red exemplifies this approach, offering a structured, elegant expression of Portuguese varieties shaped by meticulous viticulture and over two centuries of regional expertise.
