Obrigado

Obrigado Vinhos Portugal is a NY based importer 100% focused on Portuguese wines. Obrigado means “thank you” in Portuguese. The company was founded in 2010 originally solely to import one wine, Vera Vinho Verde. Due to the growing demand in America for Portuguese wines, today Obrigado represents many Portuguese wine families. All the wines imported by Obrigado have three things in common: quality, authenticity and value. Obrigado intends to continue to build a solid collection of wines that honors the places, the grapes and the people of Portugal and to effectively communicate this reality in the US.

Obrigado was initially founded by Rui Abecassis and Bruce Schneider in 2010. In 2013 Bruce sold his interest to Alberto Orte and Patrick Mata who are now Rui’s sole partners at Obrigado.
