Representing These Fine Brands:

Sogrape Vinhos de Portugal - "The Leading Wines of Portugal"
Family company, founded in 1942 in Vila Real, at the boundary of the Douro demarcated region. Founder Fernando Van Zeller Guedes is best known for developing the sparkling, all purpose Mateus Rose, now popular the world over. Mateus Rose is Portugal's best selling wine export, due in large part to Sogrape's continuous marketing support. For the last 50 years, the company has devoted itself to diversifying its product range. Sogrape's Quinta dos Carvalhais is considered one of the best-developed wineries in Europe. In addition, a spurt of acquisition activity in the 1980's and 1990's, has bolstered the company's position worldwide.

Finca Flichman S.A. - "The Evolution of Fine Argentine Wines"
The original winery, founded in 1893, stands at the very foot of the Andes Mountains in the province of Mendoza. Preserved, restored and enlarged by its proprietors, it has been endowed with the very finest and most advanced winemaking technologies: stainless steel, double-cased fermentation tanks and small French and American oak casks. The expansion of its vineyards and the incorporation of latest generation equipment have allowed Finca Flichman to make wines of high quality and personality which clearly mark a step in the evolution of fine wines from the New World.

Offley Porto - "Dating from 1737, a long standing tradition of excellence."
The Offley name is associated with the knowledge and experience of century old traditions as well as modern age technology. Founded in 1737, Offley established its reputation in the 19th century, under the guardianship of JJ Forrester, a legendary figure in the history of Port wine, later named Baron of Forrester by the King of Portugal. The Offley vineyards cover an area measuring hundreds of kilometers, laid out in terraces and situated in one of the most beautiful properties of the area. It is here, silently and in darkness, that Offley Port becomes what the world has long ago discovered.

Unicer - Super Bock - "The authentic taste from Portugal"
In June 1977, and after the merger of the 3 main Portuguese beer producers, UNICER (Uniao Cervejeira E.P) was born. The company remained with government capital until June 1990, when all of its capital was privatized. Focused, above all, on the beer market, UNICER has also an important position in the production and distribution of soft drinks and waters. Super Bock beer was first introduced in the Portuguese market in the early 30's. It is the leading beer in the Portuguese market (42% market share/Sept. 1998) and is the only beer to have won 15 consecutive gold medals in the "Monde Selection de la Qualite". Produced with selected and high quality materials, Super Bock is a lager beer inserted into the Bock beer category (very strong beers).

Anakena “A Unique Philosophy”
A different philosophy in the art of winemaking prompted Jorge Gutiérrez - former owner of a prestigious Chilean winery - to develop in 1996 a production concept which will undoubtedly make a significant contribution to the Chilean wine industry. In this venture he was joined by the well-known Chilean entrepreneur, Felipe Ibáñez, as principal partner. Together they created ANAKENA, a winery inspired by the purity, magic and mysticism of our land and which bears the name of a beautiful beach on Easter Island.

Ramazzotti “The Creator of Italian Amaro”
In 1815, Ausano Ramazzotti started the founding company in a small shop in Milan. In addition to wines and liqueurs, he sold a special tonic of herbs, orange peel and other ingredients. Ausano Ramazzotti’s Amaro quickly gained popularity due to its versatility as a perfect aperitif or digestif. Today, Amaro Ramazzotti has passed the one million case mark and is now one of the top 100 premium distilled spirit brands worldwide.
