José was one of the most productive winemakers on the planet, having worked for some of Portugal's largest vineyards. He's been leading the way for more than 40 years and was just honored "Senhor do Vinho" at the "Portuguese Wine Oscars," the highest distinction for a successful career.

Interview of JAPAN Awards to MR. LUIS GOUVEIA - _Sales and Marketing Director_

Question 1: Do you already export to JAPAN ? If yes, where ? If no, what type of importers & distributors are you looking for in JAPAN ?

We export already to Japan our brands CORETO and PAXIS.
We feel there's space to have more importers to other brands of DFJ VINHOS.

We are not experts in the Japanese market and its consumers, which means that we need to trust and rely on partners in the market.

We are looking for importers with knowledge of the market, capable of developing sales, marketing and distribution.
We try to make the best product, at the best price, suited to the consumer's taste and pleasure.

We do not impose any type of guidance on the importer with regard to brand policy, commercial strategy and marketing, as he is the specialist in the market.

Question 2: What is the most unique and qualitative part of your products, different from competitors ?

We work hard to produce wines ready for any event and everyday consumption.

We produce easy-drinking, tasty, elegant wines capable of pleasing those who don't like wine, and as well, sure, the ones who love wine. That's why we always recommend buyers to taste our wines with consumers who care about price, quality and pleasure.

Question 3: When did you start to export your brand worldwide, and what is your development plan for the next years ?

We were born in 1998 only to export to the UK.
Today we have 250 ha of vineyards with certified sustainable production.

Mr. José Neiva Correia is the head winemaker and owner, making wines since the 1974 vintage. In 2020 we exported more than 99% of 10 million bottles to more than 50 countries. Our hallmark: CREATING THE WINES THAT PEOPLE LOVE TO SHARE. Since 2010 we have won 4,385 awards, 630 only in 2021. We aim to continue creating wines that delight consumers around the world.
