Seeking to raise its profile in the U.S. market, Portuguese wine group Sogrape has agreed with Broadbent Selections to move the distribution of Porto Ferreira and Casa Ferreirinha to Evaton Inc., Sogrape’s distribution subsidiary in the U.S., headed by Stephen Brauer, Chief Executive Officer.

“Following the recent successful transition of Sandeman to Evaton, we decided that it was the right time to consolidate our Portuguese portfolio with our U.S. distribution organization”, says João Gomes de Silva, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for Sogrape Vinhos. “And we are grateful to Bartholomew Broadbent and his team for their stewardship of Casa Ferreirinha and Ferreira Port over the years”.
