"Justino’s Madeira Wines, S.A." was formed as a limited company in 1953, although it had been in existence since 1870 in Madeira as a private family company, when it was known as "Justino Henriques". This makes it one of the oldest producers and exporters of Madeira Wine, internationally known for the quality of its wines.
Founded by Justino Henrique Freitas, the company Justino’s Madeira Wines, S.A., included other wine firms, such as: A. de Freitas (vinhos) Lda; C.R. Gonçalves (vinhos) Lda.; Companhia Regional de Exportação de Vinhos da Madeira Lda.; Companhia Vinícola da Madeira Lda.; J. Monteiro (vinhos) Lda.; and União Vinícola (Funchal) Lda.
In 1993, it became internationalized, making an association with one of the larger French groups of wine and spirit distribution – C.O.F.E.E.P also knows as La Martiniquaise - building a new winery with the intention of improving the conditions in which its wines are made, in particular the process of vinification, production and aging. This large, modern and functional winery has been equipped so as to combine traditional methods with the most advanced technology available.
In 1994 Justino’s Madeira Wines, S.A, built a new winery in the Industrial park located in Cancela, Santa Cruz. This was done with the intention of improving the conditions in which its wines are made, in particular the process of vinification, production and aging. This large, modern and functional winery has been equipped so as to combine traditional methods with the most advanced technology available.
By the end of 1995, the company had completed the move from the centre of Funchal (Rua do Carmo, site of the offices, warehouses and aging vats, and Rua do Ribeirinho de Baixo, where the vinification and bottling took place) to the industrial park in Cancela, where it is today.
For over a hundred years, wines from Justino’s Madeira have been increasingly popular throughout Europe. Principal markets include France, Germany, England, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, the Benelux countries, Spain and Scandinavia, as well as in the United States, Canada, Brazil and Japan.
Today, Justino’s Madeira holds one of the largest stocks of Madeira wine on the island, including high quality wines aged in oak casks, which enables the company to meet the requirement of the most demanding and selective consumers.
Over the years, Justino’s Madeira Wines, S.A. has become one of the leading producers and exporters of Madeira Wine thanks to the acknowledged quality of its wines and the substantial increase in its production capacity.
