The History of 30 harvests of the Alves de Sousa family. "The accomplishment of 30 years dedicated to Douro wines (1992-2022) made us to want to leave a record, a testimony of our history. And the best way we know… is through wine. A wine that may carry us not only through the vineyards of the family but also through these past years. For that, we combined our best vineyards, but also some of our greatest years of production. This is the wine that tells our story. These are our memories." Alves de Sousa
