Adega José de Sousa

Highlights:

• The archaeology room, with archaeological artefacts found in the Monte da Ribeira Estate, including a Menir with almost 5 meters.
• The magnificent Adega dos Potes, a unique winery where we preserve and still use 114 clay amphorae for the production of our most special wines.

Winery Description:

Keeping alive a tradition initiated by the Romans over 2000 years ago, the José de Sousa winery is equipped with 114 clay amphorae, a fermentation method as rare as it is old. The old cellars are below ground level and contain the urns and two open presses for treading the grapes. There is also a new winery equipped with 44 stainless steel vats and all the essential technology for making red and white wines. This is the perfect place to witness the marriage of old and new and to learn more about some exceptional wines.
