This brand was registered in 1932 by BELEM'S MADEIRA WINE, LDA., a company created by brothers Francisco Eduardo and João Joaquim Henriques. They were descendants of a family who owned, since the early days of Madeira's colonization, extensive land in the Câmara de Lobos area. This is traditionally considered the best area for Madeira wine production and it was here that the first vineyards were planted by order of Prince Henry the Navigator.

On the death of Francisco Eduardo, the company passed to João Joaquim Henriques and three other partners, who joined the company between 1937 and 1946: Alberto Jardim, Carlos Nunes Pereira and Peter Cossart. In 1981, the company was included in the Henriques&Henriques group..

Belém's brand is distributed in China by the company Asaph International Trading Development Corporation and in the USA by the firm Haus Alpenz LLC
