  • Vineyard:The rough slopes. The roughness of the soil. The almost century-old vineyards. The forest. And Marão in the distance, witness to the years that have already passed by Quinta da Gaivosa. Family and sentimental ties are tightened. This is where it all started. An Alves de Sousa lifted it up and gave it its name. An Alves de Sousa made it known to the world in the form of one of the most emblematic wines of the Douro. A wine that expresses the dedication of several generations of the family to the vineyards of Quinta da Gaivosa and the unique quality of its terroir.
