João Camillo Alves founded Adegas Camillo Alves in 1881, a pioneering company in the commercialisation of quality wine brands in Portugal.
In 1939, the Caves Velhas brand was founded by João Júlio Camilo Alves, the founder's grandson, a great businessman and above all a strategist, who dared to expand his family's business by implementing branded wines.
In the historic Caves Velhas building, located in the centre of Bucelas, the capital of Arinto, we can appreciate that same history. This building is being restored to allow visits, tastings and other wine events, where you can enjoy wines with stories and memories.
At Quinta do Boição, which was acquired by Caves Velhas in 1989, we can find vines that are over 70 years old and are mainly planted with the Arinto grape variety.
The Arinto variety, native to the Bucelas region where it has the greatest genetic variability, finds its terroir of choice here, producing wines with a lot of minerality and high natural acidity, making the wine last over time without losing the strengths so characteristic of this region.
Sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture (integrated production) is practised alongside a biodiversity characterised by a wealth of fauna and flora.
Cultural practices such as pruning, hilling and harvesting are entirely manual.
