2017 Is a Casa Ferreirinha Reserva Especial Year

Casa Ferreirinha announces the declaration of yet another exceptional vintage. Its seductive and refined profile determines that the year 2017 be declared Reserva Especial, marking the 19th edition since the first vintage in 1960.

With the start of the year comes one of the most anticipated announcements for wine lovers. Casa Ferreirinha, a pioneering reference in Douro wines, has just declared the 2017 vintage as Reserva Especial.

This declaration reflects the remarkable evolution of viticulture and winemaking in the Douro Superior, which allows Reserva Especial to stand out today with unparalleled quality and consistency. As with all vintages born with the potential to become Barca-Velha or Reserva Especial, the decision of the winemaking team, led by Luís Sottomayor, involved assessing the wine’s profile and evolution since its inception. It is a conviction that takes shape over time, based on the identity the wine has shown from the very beginning.

In the words of Luís Sottomayor: “The 2017 revealed an extraordinary character from the very first moment. It is a wine that displays natural harmony and elegance, and our responsibility is to give voice to that identity. Declaring this Casa Ferreirinha Reserva Especial is the result of foresight and profound respect for the truth of the year in the Douro Superior.”

Excellence is proven, and Casa Ferreirinha Reserva Especial 2017 will reach the market by the end of the first half of this year.
