Hi
It seems to me that the F.F. Ferraz is not completely unknown. I've googled
the following:
It is only because of Alex Liddell's bible on Madeira wine that we know of a
1795 wine from F. F. Ferraz called "Messias". I have spent lots of time to
find another bottle of this wine, but without success. Liddell had purchased
his wine in 1970 at Christie's and tasted it in 1996/1997. The wine had been
bottled before F. F. Ferraz joined the Madeira Wine Association in 1937.
Of course, this does not say that Ferraz existed in 1795, only that they
bottled that vintage sometime.

1900 Boal F.F. Ferraz in addition to the 1795, these being the only years
associated with that company!
