The Alves de Sousa family has been producing wine for five generations. Domingos Alves de Sousa ultimately chose not to pursue a career as a civil engineer and became the only person ever to be named Portuguese "Winemaker of the Year" twice. The winery was established in 1992 and works exclusively with grapes from its own vineyards. Quinta da Gaivosa is located in the Baixo Corgo region, with vineyards situated on slate soils (*xisto*) at altitudes ranging from 240 to 450 meters. The estate comprises 25 hectares of vineyards featuring vines over 80 years old, the majority of which are red grape varieties (75%). Today, his son Tiago Alves de Sousa manages the vineyard operations.
