Global Wines was founded in 1990 in Portugal’s historic Dão Wine Region under the name Dão Sul, with a clear ambition: to elevate one of the country’s most important yet under-recognized wine regions.
Having established itself as a leading force in the Dão, Global Wines expanded its reach, exploring new terroirs across Portugal while maintaining a deep respect for origin, balance, and authenticity.
Vinha Maria — The Diversity of Portugal in a Glass
Created by the Global Wines team, Vinha Maria reflects the diversity of Portugal’s wine landscape. Grapes are sourced from multiple regions, balancing altitude, coastal influence, and warmth.
The Dão — Portugal’s “Burgundy”
Established in 1908, the Dão Demarcated Region is Portugal’s oldest appellation for non-fortified wines.
“Through the language of wine, we build a bridge between a small mountainous region in the center of Portugal and the world.”
