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.

The Niepoortland Tawny Dee sees around three and a half years in small barrels so is just starting to develop a brick red/tawny colour and has delicate nutty aromas and a hint of dried fruits on the nose. On the palate it is beautifully balanced with a youthful fruity, luscious character, which integrates well with a long spirity finish.

2016 dow’s vintage port, douro
Douro Blend
Dow’s Vintage Ports are only produced in years of exceptional quality and represent only a very small part of the total company’s production in that year. On average only two or three times every ten years are the weather conditions sufficiently good to allow for the making of Dow’s Vintage Port.
