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 and a long‑term vision grounded in 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 goal set at its inception: to be a family‑run, internationally oriented company focused on producing quality wines, fostering innovation, and developing Portuguese brands of global standing. The company owns around 830 hectares of vineyards in Portugal. Casa Ferreirinha and its wines have long been synonymous with time and artistry. Since its founding in the 18th century by Bernardo Ferreira, the formula was refined by his descendants, especially by his granddaughter Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, affectionately known as “Ferreirinha” or “Ferreirinha‑da‑Régua” by the people of her region. Under Dona Antónia’s stewardship—who, after being widowed twice, led a major enterprise—Ferreira achieved admirable consolidation. Her entrepreneurial spirit taught her to anticipate, decide, create, teach, and love, making her a figure of great projection and charisma.
