Alves de Sousa Porto & Wines

The rugged slopes. The rough soil. The almost century-old vineyards and the olive grove. The forest. And the Marão in the distance, witness to the years that have passed by Quinta da Gaivosa. Family and sentimental ties grow stronger. It was there that it all began. An Alves de Sousa built it and gave it its name. An Alves de Sousa made it known to the world in the form of one of the most emblematic Douro wines. All the work, all the care and dedication, all the arduous but rewarding wine-growing. This same spirit is carried over to the winemaking centre inside the winery designed by the architect Belém Lima and equipped with the technological and human resources essential to creating the best wines.
