Before 1976 the family sold all its grapes to other producers but when Miguel Champalimaud took over the strategy was changed.

The direct male line of Champalimaud was extinguished in 1915 but through marriage with Champalimaud’s daughter Dina Charlota Casimira to Joao Batista de Araujo Montez the name continued with the direct Montez male line.
