This family company was founded by Alexandre Relvas, a Portuguese public figure, in 1997. In the following years, Casa Relvas became one of the leading exporters of Portuguese wines to the global market, with up to 65% of its production exported. The company’s wines are supplied to 30 countries around the world, including the USA, Brazil, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Holland, England, Ireland, Angola, China, Russia, France, Korea, Japan, Mozambique, Cabo Verde, Namibia and the RSA. In 2018, the company’s name was contracted from Casa Agricola Alexandre Relvas to Casa Relvas.
The company planted its first vineyards on 25 acres of land on the Herdado de São Miguel farm in DOC Alentejo Redondo. The project’s goal was to showcase the character of wines of this part of the Alentejo region. Following the company’s development plan, one more winery, Herdado da Pimenta, was established later on. Today, the company owns two large wineries with a total area of 250 acres.
