BARBEITO
Vinhos Barbeito was founded in 1946 by Mário Barbeito de Vasconcelos and management has since then always been by members of the family. At the time of Barbeito’s foundation over 30 other Madeira Wine exporters were operating in the business. Little by little, Mário Barbeito gained clients in many parts of the world, always trying to build a good and close relationship with them. Some of their actual clients and suppliers are still from his time. Mário Barbeito passed away in 1985.
Daughter Manuela de Vasconcelos took over the general management of Vinhos Barbeito. She was already working for the company since 1976. One of Manuela Vasconcelos's most important tasks was to continue her father’s work of strengthening relationships with customers and promoting their wines at prestigious wine fairs around the world. Even now, they maintain this policy.
In the early years, their company concentrated its efforts in the production of bottled wine. New concepts of marketing in the Madeira wine business were introduced as well as innovative packaging like the wickered flagon. The quality of their wines gained an excellent reputation among consumers which helped to strengthen Barbeito’s image in the international market.
