Alves de Sousa - Porto Ruby Vintage 2019

"Produced from two of the estate's most sublime vineyards, this Porto of extraordinary complexity will offer you an exceptional tasting experience, in limited quantities!"

A blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Sousão from the family's two best vineyards, Vintage 2019 offers the richness and concentration of Quinta da Oliveirinha (in Cima Corgo), and the elegance of Quinta da Gaivosa (in Baixo Corgo). Dark, dense and wonderfully balanced, its complex flavors of dark chocolate, black plums and berries, and its long, subtly spicy finish will enhance your festive meals.

Alves de Sousa - Quinta da Gaivosa Porto Tawny 20 ans d'âge

"20 years of age for this sublime Port: an 18/20 by Jancis Robinson and a Favorite tasting for the team!"

" Fawn-orange color. Lovely spicy aroma of burnt orange. Smooth, rich flavors of apricot and burnt orange with a slight salinity on the finish. Excellent balance between complexity, generosity of fruit and elegance. Opens with a wonderful spicy floral perfume and a hint of vanilla. Delicious." (Jancis Robinson 2015)

Alves de Sousa - Quinta da Gaivosa Porto Tawny 10 ans d'âge

"A 10-year-old Port with flavours of macerated raspberries, cedar and caramel, what complexity!"

" Deep color, more brown than orange. Dark umber. Distinctive woody, savory aroma. The taste is drier than some and the sweet-sour complexity drives out any idea of alcohol, almost a hint of yeast extract. Beautifully balanced. It's a little more expensive than many 10-year-old Tawnies, but it's also vastly superior and worth the extra money." (Jancis Robinson 2015)

Alves de Sousa - Caldas Porto Tawny Special Reserve

"Introduce yourself to port with this supple, delicious cuvée: perfect with cheese or dessert!"

Alves de Sousa - Gaivosa Primeiros Anos 2019

"A blend of indigenous Portuguese grape varieties for a unique tasting experience!

Fresh and lively, it delights with its luscious fruit, silky texture and sensation of freshness. This is an old-fashioned field blend, but with younger vines, a deliberate move. It can age until the end of the decade, but I wouldn't be surprised if many want to drink it now. (The Wine Advocate 2022)

Alves de Sousa - Caldas Reserva Touriga Nacional 2017

3.2/5 (4 reviews)

"100% Touriga National: one of Portugal's finest grape varieties".

With a broad aromatic palette, this cuvée offers notes of violets, black plums, blackberries and dark chocolate: this Caldas Reserva Touriga Nacional is full-bodied but retains its charm and elegance. Structured and complex with mineral flavors, it finishes long and delicious.

Alves de Sousa - Branco Da Gaivosa 2021

4/5 (4 reviews)

"The complexity of the Douro's white grape varieties makes this a dazzling wine!

Savory and spicy, it's wonderfully fresh with a hint of lime. A little tense too, it should be an excellent summer refreshment. If it drinks very well now, it can also age very well. (The Wine Advocate 2022)

Alves de Sousa - Quinta Da Gaivosa Porto Blanc 10 ans d'âge (50cl)

3/5 (2 reviews)

Very complex on the nose, with herbaceous and spicy notes, as well as aromas of dried orange peel, maple syrup and almonds. Full-bodied and refined by ageing, the palate of Quinta Da Gaivosa Porto blanc presents nuances of marmalade, caramel and nuts. A good Roquefort will be its ideal companion!
