Casa Ferreirinha Esteva Tinto

Description

Sogrape Vinhos was founded in 1942 by Fernando van Zeller Guedes, with the ambition to introduce the world to Portuguese wines and a long‑term vision centred on the quality of the wines sold, the novelty of the brands, and the presentation of its products. Today led by the third generation of the founding family, Sogrape Vinhos increasingly fulfils the objective set at its inception: to be a family‑owned company with an international focus, dedicated to producing quality wines, fostering innovation, and developing Portuguese brands of global stature. Sogrape Vinhos owns roughly 830 hectares of vineyards across Portugal. Casa Ferreirinha and its wines are synonymous with time and artistry. This has been true since its establishment in the eighteenth century by Bernardo Ferreira, whose refined formula was later perfected by his descendants—especially his granddaughter, Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, affectionately known as “Ferreirinha” or “Ferreirinha‑da‑Régua” by locals. Under Dona Antónia’s stewardship, who twice survived widowhood to lead a large enterprise, the Ferreira family achieved remarkable consolidation. Her entrepreneurial spirit taught her to anticipate, decide, create, teach, and love, making her a charismatic figure of great influence.
