Description
The Alves de Sousa family has been producing wines for several generations, initially suppling fruit and wine to other port companies. When Domingos Alves de Sousa inherited his family’s quintas in 1987, he began producing wine under the family name. After studying viticulture in Bordeaux and his native Portugal, acquiring additional properties and constructing a modern cellar at Quinta da Gaivosa, he released his first vintage in 1991. Since then, Domingos and his wines have gained critical acclaim. Notably, he was named “Producer of the Year” by Revista de Vinhos in 1999 and 2007, and is the only person to have won this prestigious award twice.
Deep ruby colour, showing flavours of dark plums and liquorice on the nose. Heaps of macerated cherries and dark chocolate notes on the palate, with firm but well integrated tannins. This amazing LBV is full-bodied but very smooth with a long, harmonious finish.
