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, he  constructed a modern cellar at Quinta da Gaivosa and released his first vintage in 1991. Since then, Domingos and his wines have gained critical acclaim. 

Today, Domingos and his son, Tiago, run the estate of five quintas producing both still and fortified wines. This delightful blend of (Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca and Tinta Roriz is a rich ruby colour. It has a very fragrant nose with aromas of wild blackberry, violet, black chocolate and a hint of pepper. Smooth on the palate with lots of fruit and refined structure.
