"Cálem is wine.
It's Douro. It's Porto.
In 1859, António A. Cálem set his goals: crossing the Atlantic and exporting to Brazil.
With this connection to Brazil, story of adventure begins: wines are exported using Cálem's own fleet in exchange for exotic woods.
Hence the symbol used for the house logotype, the caravel.
The Douro, the oldest demarcated
region in the world, grew the grapes.
The cellars of Gaia aged the wine. And
António Alves Cálem planned the
enterprise. Dauntless, he prepared for
an adventure that is still ongoing four
generations later.
The success of exporting to Brazil opened up the rest of the world to Cálem. As routes multiplied, bolder moves presented themselves — if one were a man of courage. And so Porto Cálem acquired his own navigation fleet.
By 1965, Porto Calém’s reputation for fearlessness and grit had made its way around the world along its ships and crews. It was time for the image of the company to reflect that. Hence the iconic caravel being loaded with casks of Port was born, gracing every Calém bottle since.
The vision of a great man tends to inspire those around him, and so did the dream of António Alves Calém — for every generation of the family to come. Also in 1965, António Alves Calém Júnior picks up the mantle and officially becomes his father’s business partner and successor to be.
The generations that followed worked tirelessly to ensure worldwide recognition. In doing so, the brand amassed numerous awards for elegance, character, and quality in its wines.
A century and a half into its journey, Porto Cálem truly represents the world of wine its founder envisioned." - https://calem.pt/en/history/
