Overview

Quinta da Oliveirinha” (literally, “Little Olive Tree Estate”) is a very special Alves de Sousa vineyard. Set in the heart of the Douro Valley on the river’s right bank, its natura and historical aptitude for great Port (the vineyards carry the region’s highest quality grade, Letter A) is now reinterpreted as a collection of Douro wines with the distinctly personal touch of the Alves de Sousa family.
