| Behind every great wine there is always a great story. In the case of Grao Vasco, this story is written in words of dedication, thoroughness, innovation, experience and passion. This story tells of the past, present and future. A beginning that goes back to the late ’50s and a small regional company - called Vinicola do Super-Dao Ltd. Purchased in 1957 by Sogrape Vinhos, the company was renamed as Sogrape Vinicola do Vale do Dao. Two years later Grao Vasco was born, a wine named after the pseudonym adopted, five centuries earlier, by the famous Portuguese painter Vasco Fernandes (1480-1543). At the time, the Director of the Museu Grao Vasco in Viseu granted Sogrape’s request to use the famous painter’s name and painting, giving rise to the birth of a brand that has become an important symbol on the national wine scene. The portrait of St. Peter, considered his finest masterpiece, is today part of the brand’s image and is displayed on its labels. After 1990, with the construction of the Quinta dos Carvalhais winemaking centre, an exemplary winery equipped to an unprecedented level for this region, the history of Grao Vasco (and the history of Dao wines) changed for good. Over the years, what began as the story of just another Dao wine, turned into much more. Treading the path of quality and innovation, Grao Vasco took on the mantle of one of Portugal’s favourite wines. This outstanding position owes more than a little to the decision to open new chapters in its history, expanding the range of wines to the Alentejo and later the Douro, a truly innovative move. Today, the history of Grao Vasco is shaped by Sogrape Vinhos with the justifiable pride in creating a best-selling Portuguese wine. Grao Vasco continues to produce quality wines for anyone who enjoys and appreciates the genuine taste of Portugal’s Dao wine region. |
