Ferreira is the undisputed no. 1 in its native country and furthermore one of the biggest port exporters today, too. More than that, however, the reputation of the house counts as a guarantor for top quality.
Primarily responsible for this facts are the more than 300 hectares vineyard of their own, counting among the cream pieces of the cultivable area quite officially. The grapes of the traditional Portuguese types of vine get much sun on the hillside locations sloping to the Douro valley steeply into terraces in the hot, dry summer months. So the strength, fullness and maturity which mould the unique character of the port develop.
The Ruby-Ports are matured in large oak vats, where they are less exposed to the wood and the air, and therefore do not oxidize so quickly and ripen more slowly.
