Ferreira Quinta do Porto Vintage 2015
Ferreira House releases its latest Vintage, Quinta do Porto Vintage 2015, from the emblematic Quinta do Porto, which was once the home of Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira.
With a deep red, almost opaque, color, on the nose reveals an intense aroma and great complexity, specially notes of red fruits and chocolate, as result of good maturation. It also reveals delicate notes of balsamic aromas of resin, cedar and tobacco.
On the palate, it is a full-bodied Port, with firm but velvety tannins, a perfectly balanced acidity with notes of black fruits and resin. The finish is persistent and elegant.

2015 proved to be, mostly, a dry year. Especially in the month of March, where there was less than 50% of precipitation. On the following two months, the average temperature proved to be higher than normal and in June and July the temperatures reached 40ºC. This atypical climate caused an advance of the vegetative cycle of about one to two weeks, compared to the average. This influenced the maturation of the grapes, which was more precocious, influencing the beggining of the harvest, which started earlier. In September since what was harvested revealed good sugar levels, acidity and phenolic compound contents. The musts presented a very high quality.
This Ferreira Quinta do Porto Vintage 2015 can be drinked immediately or it can be stored in a vertical position, in a cool, dry and dark place, where the aging period in bottle benefits the development of complex aromas.
