Casa Ferreirinha Vinha Grande Branco

Description

Sogrape Vinhos was founded in 1942 by Fernando van Zeller Guedes with the ambition to showcase Portuguese wines to the world, guided by a long‑term vision rooted in the quality of the wines they market, the novelty of their brands, and the presentation of their 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, driving innovation, and developing Portuguese brands of global calibre. The company owns about 830 hectares of vineyards across Portugal. Casa Ferreirinha and its wines have long been synonymous with time and art. Since its 18th‑century foundation by Bernardo Ferreira, the formula has been refined by successive generations, notably his granddaughter Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, affectionately known as “Ferreirinha” or “Ferreirinha‑da‑Régua” by locals. After being widowed twice, Dona Antónia steered the family business to admirable success. Her entrepreneurial spirit taught her to anticipate, decide, create, teach, and love, making her a figure of great prominence and charisma. (illustrative image)
