Casa Ferreira

Ferreira Port Wine was created in 1751 by a Portuguese family of wine-markers. Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, the responsible for the brand, quickly became a symbol of strength against the adversities of being twice widowed and a woman at the front of a company in the 18^th century. Antónia Adelaide was kindly called Ferreirinha, a name which stuck to her brand through the years.
