Antónia Ferreira was affectionately nicknamed 'Ferreirinha' by her countrymen. Today, Casa Ferreirinha is a tribute to his memory and was the first house in the Douro to dedicate itself to the elaboration of light wines.

'Barca-Velha' is considered the symbol of Casa Ferreirinha, once responsible for making known to the country one of the most prestigious wine houses in the whole country, through its first range, in 1952.

The full quality of this wine, which is made from a careful selection of grapes from vines of the high Douro region, Barca-Velha is the epitome, the first, unquestionable symbol of the highest quality of Douro wines.

Classic, intense, complex, elegant and rich, adjectives are few to describe what is, since its creation in 1952, the most celebrated Portuguese wine.
