Casa Ferreirinha Barca Velha 2011 : Iconic & Legendary

Casa Ferreirinha Barca Velha is widely regarded as one of the greatest wines produced in Portugal. Created only in the finest vintages, this full-bodied red from the Douro Valley is made from a blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Cão, showcasing the very best of Portuguese winemaking. The 2011 vintage has been especially lauded for its intensity and exceptional balance, a year marked by ideal growing conditions.

The 2011 Barca Velha displays deep, rich aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries, and cassis, with complex notes of tobacco, licorice, and violet. On the palate, it is bold and opulent, with layers of dark fruit, spices, and a touch of cocoa, all wrapped in velvety tannins. The 18 months of aging in French oak impart additional layers of vanilla and toasted oak, leading to a long, refined finish. Critics have praised this vintage for its exceptional aging potential, with James Suckling awarding it 99 points and calling it a "tribute to the great Barca Velhas of the 1960s".

This wine pairs beautifully with roasted game, rich stews, and aged cheeses. Its structure and balance make it ideal for long-term cellaring, with the potential to evolve and develop even further over the coming decades.
