José Silvério Vieira De Sousa established the family business in the 19th century, and sisters Luísa and María are now the fifth generation to take the reigns. The family has about 60 hectares spread out in Cima Corgo in the heart of the Duoro Valley, and the grapes for this thirst-quenching summer sipper come from the family’s Quinta da Fonte vineyard in the village Celeirós. Hand harvested fruit is introduced to a traditional foot-treading press in old granite lagares, fermented, fortified, then aged in large old oak barrels to gain complexity.
Serving Suggestion: An ideal aperitif wine! Try it in our White Port & Tonic cocktail: Alley 26 tonic syrup, 1/3 white port, 2/3 sparkling water, & a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
