Herdade Paço do Conde
The history of this Herdade dates back to the end of the 14th century. The estate is referred to since 1,378 in the early days of the Kingdom of Portugal. Much of the “Herdade Paço do Conde” is located between the remains of an ancient Roman castle next to the Guadiana and the ancient Roman city of the “Vilares”. For more than three centuries, the Paço do Conde Estate has been owned by the Castelo Branco family. The origin of one of the oldest agricultural enterprises in the country, founded in 1928 under the name Sociedade Agrícola Paço do Conde, is today managed by the current owners, José António Ferrão Castelo Branco, Luís Miguel Ferrão Castelo Branco and Maria Luísa Castelo Branco Schmidt, the grandchildren of the founder. The mother house was divided giving rise to several companies, of which the owners are partners. The three partners own a group of distinct agricultural societies, which constitute the Paço do Conde Group, and are currently responsible for the exploitation of about 3,000 hectares of agricultural area on the banks of the Guadiana River, Baixo Alentejo, Southern Portugal. This passion for land is shared in every bottle of wine and olive oil produced by Paço do Conde Estate.
