Casa Ferreirinha Antonia Adelaide Ferreira Tinto

Description

Sogrape Vinhos was founded in 1942 by Fernando van Zeller Guedes with the ambition of introducing Portuguese wines to the world, backed by a long‑term vision centered on the quality of the wines sold, the novelty of its brands, and the presentation of its products. Today, led by the third generation of the founding family, Sogrape Vinhos increasingly fulfills the objective set at its inception: to be a family‑run company with an international focus, dedicated to producing quality wines, fostering innovation, and developing Portuguese brands of global standing. Sogrape Vinhos owns approximately 830 hectares of vineyards in Portugal. Casa Ferreirinha and its wines have long been synonymous with time and art. Since its founding in the eighteenth century by Bernardo Ferreira, the formula has been refined by successive generations, especially by his granddaughter Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, who was affectionately known as “Ferreirinha” or “Ferreirinha‑da‑Régua” by the people of her region. In the hands of Dona Antónia, who twice became a widow yet led a large enterprise, the Ferreira family achieved remarkable consolidation. Her entrepreneurial spirit taught her to anticipate, decide, create, teach, and love, making her a figure of great influence and charisma.
