Quinta da Água Alta, dating back to 1848, is one of many estates privately owned by the Vieira de Sousa family for 4 generations. 

Located in the heart of the Douro Valley, sheltered by a fold on the hillside, the local climatic conditions and unique schist soil, provide the ideal circumstances for the growth and diversity of grape varieties of excellence, allowing the family philosophy to recreate and simultaneously preserve the classic and traditional style of Port Wine has remained throughout the years.
