Corridor footprint

Founded by the celebrated oenologist João Portugal Ramos and headquartered in Estremoz, the group has grown from an Alentejo flagship into one of Portugal’s most recognisable wine houses, with estates across Alentejo, Vinho Verde, the Douro and other regions. Its wines — led by the Marquês de Borba range — are carried by Systembolaget in Sweden, where the producer holds a dedicated assortment page within the monopoly’s catalogue.

Why this matters for the corridor

Brand recognition is decisive inside the Nordic monopolies, where shelf space is finite and curated. A producer with an established Systembolaget presence is positioned to defend and expand listings as Portuguese wine continues to gain share in Sweden.
