Casa Ferreirinha Vinha Grande Tinto

Description

Sogrape Vinhos was founded in 1942 by Fernando van Zeller Guedes, with the ambition of introducing Portuguese wines to the world. The company has always been guided by a long‑term vision that prioritises the quality of the wines sold, the innovation 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‑owned, internationally focused enterprise that concentrates on producing quality wines, fostering innovation, and developing Portuguese brands of global stature. The company owns about 830 hectares of vineyards across Portugal. Casa Ferreirinha and its wines have long been synonymous with time and art. The legacy began in the eighteenth century with Bernardo Ferreira, who refined the original formula through his descendants, especially his granddaughter Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira. She became affectionately known as “Ferreirinha” or “Ferreirinha‑da‑Régua” by the people of her homeland. Despite being widowed twice, Dona Antónia led the company with remarkable resolve, solidifying its reputation. Her entrepreneurial spirit taught her to anticipate, decide, create, teach, and love, turning her into a figure of great influence and charisma. (Illustrative image only)
