Company Brief

Companyâ € ™ s Profile
The firm Ã “ scar de Almeida Lda, is a family business venture, based in the council of
Vermiosa, Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo, district of Guarda.
It is composed by the properties of Santa Maria, Devesa, Nave, Cadaval, Nave Godina,
Santo AntÃ ³ nio, Quintal ( in the council of Vermiosa) and Curral CalÃ § ado ( in the council
of Escarigo) . These properties occupy an area of about 33 hectares, from which over
28 are exclusively dedicated to the vineyards. Additionally, one of our lands ( Santo
AntÃ ³ nio) is dedicated to the exploration of chestnut trees.
The lands affected to the actual vineyards were previously occupied by damaged low
quality vineyards, recently reconverted, with soil characteristics and solar exposure
regarded as ideal to the production of high quality grapes. At the present time, we
have currently planted a few selected breeds ( Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Touriga
Franca, Tinta Barroca, SousÃ £ o, Mourisco, SÃ ria, Arinto e Malvasia Fina) .
These terrains have been carefully and wisely cultivated, since the beginning of the
twentieth century, within the family who initiated this project, namely through the
work developed by Ã “ scar de Almeida, currently with 91 years old, who having
developed the wine producing activity for over 60 years, has also, from an early stage,
managed to involve his closest relatives in the spirit of the vineyards plantation culture
in Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo.
For decades, the main objective of this family agricultural business was the supply of
high quality grapes to the Regional Agricultural Company ( a state owned company)
and a few selected wine producers.
The understanding of market trends and dynamics in the wine sector were of extreme
relevance and importance in the identification of business opportunities, and as a result
in the origin of this agricultural company.
One of the first strategic options taken by the current partners ( in order to increase the
companyâ € ™ s global competitiveness in the market place) occurred during the year 2000,
through the mobilization of efforts to proceed to the development of the first project
( of two) within the program supported by the Government, directed to the
reconversion and restructuring of the vineyards. This first project involved the
reconversion of 14, 23 hectares of vineyards and was completely implemented during
the year of 2002. It was then carried out a second project that contemplated an area
of 6, 75 hectares, completed in the year of 2004.
Another critical measure taken in January of 2004, with the objective of improving
substantially the quality of the wine and the production process ( in our view essential
factors of success in the premium sector) , was the establishment of a permanent and
long term partnership with a oenology firm â € “ Vinhos & Outras TentaÃ § Ã µ es.
In May of 2004, the company Ã “ scar de Almeida Lda is created ( CAE 15931) , having as
main activity the production of high quality wines. These events are the logical and
natural sequence of the activity initially developed by Ã “ scar de Almeida.
At the present time we produce annually a large quantity of grapes in our own
vineyards ( about 210 tons) , but only a small part ( around 60 tons) are turned into
wine in order to obtain high quality levels. Despite this fact, we can respond to higher
levels of demand assuring the quality of our wine.

I am familiar with this company and want to review it.
