Sogrape Vinhos

Sogrape Vinhos was born from the will and audacity of a group of friends who, in the difficult economic and political environment of 1942, decided to invest in the talent of a visionary man and develop an innovative wine company capable of placing Portuguese wines on international markets.

It was Fernando van Zeller Guede's vision, character and strong personality that set the course for the Sogrape project, which many thought was doomed to failure. The ability to see further than others, as demonstrated by Sogrape's founder, led to the creation of the first global Portuguese wine brand - Mateus Rosé - whose overwhelming commercial success in more than 120 countries has been crucial to the growth and confirmation of the leadership position that the company rightly demands today.

The true greatness of today's Sogrape Vinhos arises from the breadth of its portfolio, which includes prestigious Ferreira and Offley ports, as well as the two largest Portuguese wine brands in the world - Mateus Rosé and Sandeman.

In addition, there are prestigious specialist brands from all the main regions, such as Barca Velha, the pride of Casa Ferreirinha (Douro), the elegant wines of Quinta dois Carvalhais (Dão), the lively creations of Herdade do Peso (Alentejo), the fresh Vinho Verdes of Quintas de Azevedo and Gazela, and the versatile wines of Grão Vasco (Dão), to name just the most famous.
