Adega José de Sousa – Amphora Wines Tasting

Adega José de Sousa, owned by José Maria da Fonseca, is located in Reguengos de Monsaraz, Évora, and is one of the oldest and most traditional wineries in the Alentejo. A historic place that proudly preserves the ancient art of producing Carved Wine.

The visit begins at the educational vineyard, where the main grape varieties used in the wines are presented. It then continues through the modern winery, composed of 44 stainless steel tanks, and the archaeology room, which displays artifacts discovered at Herdade do Monte da Ribeira, including an impressive menhir nearly five meters high. The experience culminates in the emblematic Clay Pot Cellar, where 114 clay amphorae are preserved and still used to produce the most distinctive wines.

The tour concludes with a tasting of three Carved Wines: Puro Talha White, Puro Talha Red and J de José de Sousa.
