Casa Ferreirinha Vinha Grande Branco

Description

Sogrape Vinhos was founded in 1942 by Fernando van Zeller Guedes with the ambition of showcasing Portuguese wines to the world, guided by a long‑term vision focused 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 fulfils the goal set at its inception: to be a family‑run, internationally oriented company dedicated to producing quality wines, innovating, 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. This tradition began in the 18th century with Bernardo Ferreira, whose refined formula was later honed by his descendants, particularly his granddaughter Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, affectionately known as “Ferreirinha” or “Ferreirinha‑da‑Régua” by the people of her region. Under Dona Antónia’s leadership—who, after being widowed twice, steered a major 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 prominence and charisma.
