This wine is made exclusively of the best grapes of the old vineyards of Quinta da Gaivosa.

A very rare wine and the ultimate expression of the vineyard and the region.

This red wine has a ruby red color. An intense and complex aroma of wild fruits and berries. Clearly well-integrated tannins without aggressiveness. The wine has a very good aging capacity. Has a very elegant and long finish.

For the lovers of Rioja wine this Alves de Sousa is a true discovery.
