Lagoalva

The long tradition of Quinta da Lagoalva as a wine producer is evidenced in 1888, at the Portuguese Industry Exhibition, where it was present with 600 casks of wine.

The Lagoalva Late Harvest wine is born from the 45 hectares of vineyards at Quinta da Lagoalva, planted in the best Tejo terroirs, featuring national and international grape varieties with the best enological potential. The vineyards of Quinta da Lagoalva benefit from a modern training system, just like the winery, which combines efficient winemaking with great versatility in enological options, based on a dialogue between the New World model and traditional European methods.

Vinification: The winemakers chose not to stabilize this late harvest wine, allowing it to potentially develop a natural deposit in the bottle over time. After decanting, fermentation occurs in stainless steel vats at 16ºC for 6 weeks.

Winemakers: Pedro Pinhão | Luís Paulino.

Located on the southern bank of the Tejo River, just 2 km from the town of Alpiarça and 11 km from Santarém, Quinta da Lagoalva de Cima is a living testament to Portuguese history and tradition. Its origins date back to the 12th century, when King Sancho I of Portugal granted these lands to the Order of Santiago of the Sword in recognition of their heroic deeds during the conquest of Santarém. Among these lands was Quinta da Lagoalva, first recorded in 1193, remaining under the order’s ownership for six centuries.

In 1834, the Quinta was acquired by Henrique Teixeira de Sampayo, the 1st Count of Póvoa, and later passed to the Palmela family through the marriage of Maria Luísa Noronha de Sampayo to the 2nd Duke of Palmela. Since then, its descendants have preserved this legacy, now the largest and most emblematic property of the Lagoalva Group, managed by the Holstein Campilho family.

Spanning 660 contiguous hectares, Quinta da Lagoalva de Cima stands out not only for its historical and cultural significance but also for the diversity of its activities. The group oversees an impressive total of 5,500 hectares, including 4,000 hectares of forest, 1,000 hectares of irrigated farmland, 45 hectares of vineyards, and 16 hectares of olive groves. It is also dedicated to wine and olive oil production, wine tourism, agriculture, and horse breeding, blending innovation with tradition.

This estate is a true landmark in the Tejo region, symbolizing the union of a rich historical past with contemporary excellence.
