Alves de Sousa

The Douro has a unique landscape. It is the first region in the world to be demarcated and regulated (1756) and it is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Few places reflect as well the admirable outcomes that can arise from human effort and dedication. It is in this region that Domingos Alves de Sousa produces his wines, following a family tradition started by his grandfather, which is now also carried on by his children..

The total area of the vineyards covers approximately 123 hectares, divided into 6 estates: Gaivosa, Vale da Raposa, Caldas, Estação, Aveleira, and Oliveirinha. Alongside the family's significant winemaking heritage, the vineyards of tomorrow are being prepared today..

In the family wine cellar, each year, the profile of each wine is refined and new interpretations of the Douro are created. New techniques, new styles, some already revealed, others still in development and maturation. We explore the diversity of traditional varieties from the region and the ecological diversity of the vineyards. Wines such as Quinta da Gaivosa, Abandonado, Vinha de Lordela, and Reserva Pessoal are the result of the dedication, innovation, and deep respect for the terroir of the winemakers, Domingos and Tiago Alves de Sousa..
