Embark on the Madeira 19th Century Wine Tour!
Our winery was founded in 1877 by a passionate winemaker, who devoted his entire life to searching for a selection of wines produced on the Island of Madeira, for ageing wine. It is currently managed by the fourth generation of his family. The company’s premises are located in the centre of Funchal, in a centenary building, built on a plot with approximately 1,600m², and it has been in activity since 1924. Due to the growing demand and the high level of product awareness in an increasingly demanding market, the company has adopted a new strategy, which resulted in the product’s image make-over as well as a new corporate image. The increase in sales to all countries confirms and supports this contemporary attitude, reflected in the new image and sustained in the quality of the Madeira wine.

Great experience! The hostess suggested a pairing for my wife and I that didn’t break the bank. All of the wines were great. Lovely pressure-free experience in a nice traditional setting.

One of the oldest and most traditional Madeira production companies on the island. Conveniently located in the city of Funchal, so accessible by walking if you're staying central. A good introduction to traditional Madeira production.
