Domingos Alves de Sousa produces his wines, according to a family tradition begun by his grandfather, which is today also being continued by his children.
The quest to find the true embodiment of a vineyard lead Alves de Sousa to use only grapes from his own estates to produce his wines. This he does using truly unique "terroirs” and a magnificent diversity of the region's natural grape varieties.
The quality and singularity of his wines has been widely recognised with distinctions and mentions in the most acclaimed national and international publications. Of particular mention was the "Producer of the Year"" award presented in 1999 and again in 2006 by the most important Portuguese Wine Magazine ("Revista de Vinhos”). As such, Domingos Alves de Sousa became the first to twice receive the most coveted and prestigious distinction for Portuguese wine producers.
