Famous for its Port Wine since 1751, Ferreira is also dedicated to the selection and aging of high quality wine spirits. It is in the cellars in Vila Nova de Gaia that the brandies are carefully chosen and aged in 270-litre oak hooves. In order to obtain the maximum quality, tests and the introduction of various batches of different ages and characteristics are carried out periodically. After the final batch is chosen, the brandy is placed in hulls of 640 liters, where it ages.

Chancella is obtained through selected spirits (liquor obtained through the distillation of white wines) from high quality batches. It is a natural brandy without additives and aged for a few years in Portuguese oak casks in Ferreira's cellars.

Time and age are two essential factors for the final quality of this spirit.

Dark gold in color and greenish nuances, this old brandy has a very strong aroma of good quality wood. In the mouth it is soft, velvety on the palate and with a very elegant and persistent finish.
