We meet many fantastic and talented winemakers on our wine tours around the world. (You can watch video interviews with many of them on the BKWine YouTube channel.) One of them is Tiago Alves de Sousa in the Douro Valley in Portugal, a very talented young winemaker. He has taken over from his father, Domingos Alves de Sousa, who was one of the great pioneers of high-quality Douro wines (which does not prevent their port wines from being superb).
In September, Tiago received a fine award from the Port Wine Institute (IVDP) during the seventh edition of the Port Wine Day. Four different “Douro + Sustainable Awards” were given and the “Enology Award” went to Tiago for creativity, innovation and ambition. Congratulations Tiago!
