C. da Silva or DALVA ?

Posted by C.daSILVA / at Tuesday, November 15, 2011 / /

A very important issue that needs to be clarified…

During this last year that C. da SILVA opened the Port and Douro wine shop, many people have been making these questions:

“Do you have a new brand… C. da SILVA ? I have only heard about DALVA."
“Are you changing the name of the brand from DALVA to C. da SILVA ?"
"The reason of a rebranding and new packaging is related with this change ?"

Well C. da SILVA (VINHOS) SA is our Company´s trading registry, although this Company was founded in 1862, under the name Corrêa Ribeiro e Filhos and carried the seal bearer of long time supplier to the Royal House.

But as a result of reasons lost in time, Mr. Clemente da SILVA (the founder) opted between 1933 and 1957 for changing the Company´s name.

C. da SILVA´s (VINHOS) SA major brand is DALVA, a name whose origin lies in the founder´s surname DA si LVA.

Therefore in the rebranding, below the bottles neck,  the first symbol (Mr. Clemente da SILVA side view) followed by the words (C. da SILVA), then our lemma "Distinctive Port" and the Company´s brand name... DALVA.

PRESIDENTIAL...another brand owned by C. da Silva (Vinhos) SA, that has been created for Export markets, like United States of America, Germany, Spain...

The same Port wine as in DALVA bottles but different presentation and packaging.
