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.

2021 Douro Tinto, Quinta Nova, DOC Douro
Red Blend
This beautiful Douro Tinto from Quinta Nova is completely unoaked and displays bags of clean, unadulterated fruit, minerality from the schist soils and a lovely vein of fresh acidity. Medium bodied with a wealth of red berry fruit and violet floral notes, the rounded, generous palate is approachable and soft - a characteristic not always found in Douro reds. The lack of oak allows the natural minerality to shine through and help keep the wine fresh. Perfect for barbecue meats or pasta with tomato based sauces.
