Adega José De Sousa: A Historic Winery in Alentejo

We went with a small group of friends and family, visiting wineries in the region from a base in Evora. This place specializes in classic wines aged in clay amphora, seriously Old School. The tour of the winery was very nice and fun, and tasting after was great. We all enjoyed trying the wines and the people were sincerely welcoming and hospitable.

Great excellent wine

Visitors are here in Spain, at 5 p.m. A guia Lígia que nos acolheu, fez uma excelente apresentação da dega José de Sousa. This is the adquirida of the group José Maria Fonseca in 1986. Para além da explicação de todo or processo de produção dos vinhos jovens brancos e tintos, também fomos elucidados dos different processesos de envelhecimento do vinho em talha e na Barricas de Carvalho American and French. It is possible to observe the ceramic material and then produce wine from the material. No final proof of 3 young wines Monte da Ribeira (branco e tinto) and José de Sousa (tinto com envelhecimento em talha). Recommend.

Fantastic experience and very educational tour. Lovely wines and just fabulous atmosphere Thank you Luica

We visited the winery on a rainy Friday. We were unfamiliar with amphorae wine and were warmly welcomed by our guide Lígia, who promptly answered any questions we had about the local production method, both the newer/industrial and the traditional method used inside amphorae. The visit culminated with a tasting of premium wines, which allowed us to try three blends with different percentages of the latter. All the rooms in this winery located in the center of Reguengos had a unique and welcoming atmosphere.

Great experience, very interesting explanations and of course, good wines. Cheers!

We had the pleasure to visit there this weekend. The tour and the guide was fantastic. We went through the whole process from grapes to bottle, visited the cellar with aging clay pot wines and finished off the tour with tasting their delicious wines. Definitely will visit again and suggest to friends. Also this adega is in the town centre, so no need to drive anywhere if staying in the town. Super tour!

I loved it, I would like to highlight the guide, she made me feel at home, she was able to overcome the language barrier thanks to her passion.

I came here with a group of friends to taste some wine however we got so much more! They showed us around and taught us about how the wine is made, including their traditional clay pot wine. The woman was excellent. Very friendly and knew a lot about everything. Wine tasted superb too and not badly priced. Highly recommend !

Excellent experience due to the uniqueness of the fermentation process in clay amphorae (talhas). I recommend it if you visit the Monsaraz area in Alentejo. Sofia's kindness and knowledge during the guided tour and her effort to speak easy-to-understand Portuguese.

Having already met José Maria da Fonseca in Azeitão, my wife and I decided to head to Reguengos and also visit Adega José de Sousa. As my grandfather's name is José Fernandes, I knew straight away that it would be a great evening, complying with all the Covid19 safety rules and regulations. Learning about the history, tasting the Talha wine, and the snacks as part of the São Martinho program, everything was impeccable. The friendliness, knowledge and kindness of the guide, Sofia, made the entire visit more charming and joyful. May they continue to make Talha wine. It is important to maintain winemaking traditions, because the best wines are those with history.

Visit to the winery and explanation of the most traditional methods of wine production. I really enjoyed the guide, who shared all his knowledge and dedication in a fluid and cheerful way. Congratulations! This winery was an extremely pleasant discovery and was worth the visit. The only downside is that it was short and we didn't have the opportunity to walk around the vineyards.

Very nice, we arrived out of turn and the nice lady welcomed us anyway and did an informative wine tasting with us. Very tasty wine, nice atmosphere. Tours are also available if you book in advance.

What good wines. And even better service. Congratulations on your winery.

Very friendly and pleasant person, professional, knows his job well, I recommend
