Companhia Agrícola do Sanguinhal (CAS) was established by Abel Pereira da Fonseca in 1926. He planted his first stand-alone vineyards aligned and wired, which was considered very innovative at the time, as there were no tractors. Vineyards were divided into plots, each planted with one sole variety (which was also new at the time). He introduced new varieties at a separate plot at Quinta do Sanguinhal, he planted 30 different varieties to study their adaptability.
