Founded in 1920 by Deonilde Freitas, continued by Germana Freitas and later by Ermelinda Freitas, the company has always paid special attention to wine. Since the first generation, this company has focused on the quality of its vineyards and wines, which were initially produced and sold in bulk without their own brand. It was under the current management, Leonor Freitas, that a major change took place and, in 1997, a new cycle began for this centuries-old family business, with the first wine produced and bottled under the name Casa Ermelinda Freitas.
