However, Domingos Alves de Sousa initially pursued a different career. Having graduated in Civil Engineering, he couldn't resist the dual pull (of the land and his heritage), and abandoned his profession in 1987 to dedicate himself exclusively to managing the estates he inherited and others he subsequently acquired, where he has been carrying out exemplary work in land consolidation and vineyard restructuring. The evolution of his winemaking activity is full of interesting, almost paradigmatic aspects and deserves a bit of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp id=\"text2\" class=\"margin_botton_20\"\u003eFor a long time, he was a supplier to the well-known and prestigious companies Casa Ferreirinha and Sociedade dos Vinhos Borges. But the problems that affected the sector at the end of the 1980s, which resulted in an exaggerated increase in production costs, and especially the catastrophic 1988 harvest, led him to question the profitability of his farms. And it was this questioning that marked the turning point. Like many other Douro winegrowers, affected by the recession in which the Demarcated Region was struggling, he turned to valuing the \"leftovers\" of Port wine, that is, the table wine of the Douro, until then traditionally considered secondary to fortified wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp id=\"text3\" class=\"margin_botton_20\"\u003eLike many other Douro winegrowers, affected by the recession that the Demarcated Region was struggling with, he turned to valuing the \"leftovers\" of Port wine, that is, the table wine of the Douro, which until then had traditionally been considered inferior to fortified wine. Of course, this radical change of attitude required more than just goodwill and a desire to succeed: it required technical and professional training. He thus attended viticulture and oenology courses and, armed with this background, set to work restructuring his vineyards and, determined to forge his own path as a producer-bottler, built the winery on his Quinta da Gaivosa estate where he would henceforth vinify the production of the other estates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp id=\"text4\" class=\"margin_botton_20\"\u003eAfter experimenting with various grape varieties, he selected those that proved most suitable for producing the best Douro Designation of Origin wines, and with them he produced and launched on the market, in mid-1992, what would be his first wine: the Quinta do Vale da Raposa white 1991, which quickly captivated connoisseurs and earned the highest praise.

Having graduated in Civil Engineering, he couldn't resist the dual pull (of the land and his heritage), and abandoned his profession in 1987 to dedicate himself exclusively to managing the estates he inherited and others he subsequently acquired, where he has been carrying out exemplary work in land consolidation and vineyard restructuring.

But the problems that affected the sector at the end of the 1980s, which resulted in an exaggerated increase in production costs, and especially the catastrophic 1988 harvest, led him to question the profitability of his farms. And it was this questioning that marked the turning point. Like many other Douro winegrowers, affected by the recession in which the Demarcated Region was struggling, he turned to valuing the \"leftovers\" of Port wine, that is, the table wine of the Douro, until then traditionally considered secondary to fortified wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp id=\"text3\" class=\"margin_botton_20\"\u003eLike many other Douro winegrowers, affected by the recession that the Demarcated Region was struggling with, he turned to valuing the \"leftovers\" of Port wine, that is, the table wine of the Douro, which until then had traditionally been considered inferior to fortified wine. Of course, this radical change of attitude required more than just goodwill and a desire to succeed: it required technical and professional training. He thus attended viticulture and oenology courses and, armed with this background, set to work restructuring his vineyards and, determined to forge his own path as a producer-bottler, built the winery on his Quinta da Gaivosa estate where he would henceforth vinify the production of the other estates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp id=\"text4\" class=\"margin_botton_20\"\u003eAfter experimenting with various grape varieties, he selected those that proved most suitable for producing the best Douro Designation of Origin wines, and with them he produced and launched on the market, in mid-1992, what would be his first wine: the Quinta do Vale da Raposa white 1991, which quickly captivated connoisseurs and earned the highest praise.

To the initial vineyard area, another 16 hectares were later added, always in the best \"terroir\" of Bairrada. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-6 inner-left-xs inner-bottom-sm animated\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e My conviction was simple: I wanted our wines to be made using traditional methods, without neglecting the constant evolution of viticulture and oenology.

She was born in 1811 in Régua, the gateway to the vineyards of the Douro Valley. Despite her small stature and reserved nature, Dona Antônia was charismatic, visionary, and entrepreneurial. She created new vineyard extensions, increased and improved the company's stocks of old wines, and contributed to improving the arduous lives of local farming families by founding schools, nurseries, and hospitals. Such was the affection of the population that they affectionately called her \"Ferreirinha\". Upon her death in 1896, she left behind a remarkable Douro heritage and an immensely successful business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eCasa Ferreirinha's major investment in unfortified wines would emerge about half a century later. Producing elegant, high-quality Douro wines, with the refinement and high aging potential of Vintage Port wines, became the dream of Fernando Nicolau de Almeida, who began working at the company early on, eventually rising to technical director. He selected the best grapes from the Upper Douro, full of richness and structure, and combined them with others from high altitudes, chosen for their acidity and aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThus was born, in 1952, Barca-Velha, an iconic wine that has since been produced only in the best years, considered one of Portugal's most long-lived, elegant, and complex red wines. The genesis of Casa Ferreirinha is, therefore, a true lesson in oenology, which determined the evolution of the wines of this house, enriched by the planting of Quinta da Leda from scratch, begun in 1979, where the grapes that allowed for increased and improved production are grown. Today, the Casa Ferreirinha line, produced under the guidance of winemaker Luís Sottomayor, ranges from youthful wines like Esteva or Planalto, through richer wines like Papa Figos, Vinha Grande, and Callabriga, to the exceptional Quinta da Leda, Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, and Reserva Especial, with Barca-Velha occupying the top of the hierarchy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","brand":"Garrafeira Grande Escolha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53188085514577,"sku":null,"price":1100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/4122\/8625\/files\/Barca-Velha-2004.jpg?v=1772533300"},{"product_id":"batuta-tinto","title":"Batuta 2014 Red Wine 75cl ","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-8636 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/garrafeiragrandeescolha.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/niepoort-logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"405\" height=\"228\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAn independent family business for over a century and a half; five generations have succeeded one another at the helm of Niepoort since Franciscus Marius Niepoort founded the company in 1842.

Dirk has been at the helm of the company since Eduard Rudolph Niepoort's formal retirement in 2005. Dirk, born in 1964, discovered the world of wine during his studies in Switzerland. In 1987, Dirk joined his father, Rolf Niepoort, in the family business and was challenged to innovate while maintaining good traditions. The first important step was the acquisition of their own vineyards: Quinta de Nápoles and Quinta do Carril in the Cima Corgo, a region that traditionally produces the best Port wines. 15 hectares of vines were newly planted, and 10 hectares of 60-year-old vines were carefully maintained. Owning Quintas and vineyards in the Douro was an important step for the production of Port wine and for the creation of the first non-fortified Niepoort wines. Dirk's passion for wine, humble respect, and curiosity about the Douro terroir have defined the spirit of Niepoort for the past two decades and are a constant inspiration for the team. Dirk's sister, Verena, joined the company as CEO in 2005.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe fourth generation: Eduard Rudolf van der Niepoort. Rolf was born in March 1927. From childhood, he had a great interest in mechanics, but also possessed a good business sense. In 1950, he joined his father, Eduard, in the family business. His experience was a valuable asset, and he was able to overcome a difficult period financially. Rolf dedicated his interest to commercial and human relationships within and outside the company, and was conservative when it came to wine production. Rolf nostalgically remembers the production of a Vintage Port, the 1970 one, as if it were his own creation, from beginning to end. Currently, it is considered one of Niepoort's greatest Ports.

Having graduated in Civil Engineering, he couldn't resist the dual pull (of the land and his heritage), and abandoned his profession in 1987 to dedicate himself exclusively to managing the estates he inherited and others he subsequently acquired, where he has been carrying out exemplary work in land consolidation and vineyard restructuring.

But the problems that affected the sector at the end of the 1980s, which resulted in an exaggerated increase in production costs, and especially the catastrophic 1988 harvest, led him to question the profitability of his farms. And it was this questioning that marked the turning point.

Of course, this radical change of attitude required more than just goodwill and a desire to succeed: it required technical and professional training. He thus attended viticulture and oenology courses and, armed with this background, set to work restructuring his vineyards and, determined to forge his own path as a producer-bottler, built the winery on his Quinta da Gaivosa estate where he would henceforth vinify the production of the other estates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp id=\"text4\" class=\"margin_botton_20\"\u003eAfter experimenting with various grape varieties, he selected those that proved most suitable for producing the best Douro Designation of Origin wines, and with them he produced and launched on the market, in mid-1992, what would be his first wine: the Quinta do Vale da Raposa white 1991, which quickly captivated connoisseurs and earned the highest praise.
