http://www.granadeirovinhos.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=1&lang=en

Henrique Granadeiro is a successful businessman who was born and raised in the southern Portuguese province of Alentejo. Although his professional life took him to Lisbon, he has always felt a strong bond with the region of his birth.  He sat on the Board of the Eugénio de Almeida Foundation, producer of some of the Alentejo’s finest wines, and played a role in the creation of iconic brands “Cartuxa” and “Pêra Manca”.

In 2001 he decided to pursue his passion for wine by  launching a project in Reguengos, in the heart of Alentejo and not far from his birthplace. Since then he has poured his knowledge and passion into creating the wines that bear his name.
