Casa Ferreirinha Antonia Adelaide Ferreira Branco

Description

Sogrape Vinhos was founded in 1942 by Fernando van Zeller Guedes, with the ambition of introducing Portuguese wines to the world and a long‑term vision grounded in the quality of the wines sold, the importance of brand novelty, and the presentation of its products. Today, led by the third generation of the founding family, Sogrape Vinhos increasingly fulfills the goal set at its inception: to be a family‑driven, internationally oriented company focused on producing quality wines, driving innovation, and developing Portuguese brands of global stature. Sogrape Vinhos owns roughly 830 hectares of vineyards in Portugal. Casa Ferreirinha and its wines are synonymous with time and art. This tradition dates back to its founding in the eighteenth century by Bernardo Ferreira, whose formula was refined by his descendants, especially his granddaughter Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, affectionately known as “Ferreirinha” or “Ferreirinha‑da‑Régua” by the people of her homeland. Under Dona Antónia’s leadership—who, twice widowed, found herself at the helm of a large company—Ferreira achieved remarkable consolidation. Her entrepreneurial spirit taught her to anticipate, decide, create, teach, and love, making her a figure of great projection and charisma.
