THE WINES
ALVES DE SOUSA
Our most personal and unique approaches to wine production, highlighting our personality and origins. It's our family name, it's who we are.
OLIVEIRINHA
A very special Estate owned by the Alves de Sousa family. Located in the “heart” of the Douro Valley, on the right bank of the river and with a natural and historical potential to make great Ports (its vineyards hold the highest quality classification in the region - "Letter A"), it is now reinterpreted like a collection of Douro wines, with the always personal touch of the Alves de Sousa family.
VALE DA RAPOSA
Contiguous with Quinta da Gaivosa, theese two estates are almost difficult to dissociate. Where one ends, the other begins. The meeting was held in the late 1980s to purchase the approximately 18ha that make up Quinta do Vale da Raposa. In 1991, it was the stage for the debut in the production of DOC Douro wines with a white that immediately captivated connoisseurs and deserved the best references. This fact proved the value of the Encosta da Gaivosa terroir (the name by which the area is known) and recognized all the work carried out there.
CALDAS
Estate with great historical tradition, formerly owned by the famous Dona Antónia Adelaide Ferreira (Ferreirinha). It is currently undergoing intense restructuring, using a range of careful and innovative technical means, whilst not neglecting the valuable legacy left by our ancestors. The result is an amalgam of tradition and modernity that will certainly reinforce Quinta das Caldas' position as one of the pillars in the production of superior quality wines. It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful Estates in the Douro.
