DOC Douro

Alice Vieira de Sousa was our grand-aunt and she was a self-made woman. In her time she took care of the different quintas and wines. She was also a teacher and to remember we developed a label based on her old school records and the first letter of her name: ALICE. This is a young red full of freshness and power.. Well-balanced, smooth, and a long finish.

Tasting notes

Red colour, very expressive in the aroma, with red fruit together with a fresh balsamic profile. It has a very long body, more concentrated than the harvest before.
