Offley

Tradition Rocks

Irreverent, versatile and innovative, Offley finds its innovation in the visionary and charismatic personality of Joseph James Forrester... a challenge to the status quo of Port Wine, and a call to freedom to try new wines and explore new ways of consumption.

Our Winemaker

To create the best wines, we combine science with technology and winemakers who put all their knowledge into each brand, with dedication and passion.

Luís Sottomayor

When he joined the team of master Fernando Nicolau de Almeida in 1989, Luís Sottomayor knew he was in the right place to be part of producing the Douro's very best wines. His academic career took him to France and Australia, while today, recognised for his skill and the quality of his work, he leads Sogrape's Douro winemaking team, responsible for wines such as the mythic Barca-Velha and the famous vintages of Porto Ferreira and Sandeman Tawnies.
