Quinta da Lagoalva

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

The Quinta da Lagoalva Grand Reserve Syrah red wine is born from the 45 hectares of vineyards at Quinta da Lagoalva, planted in the best “terroirs” of the Tejo, with both national and international grape varieties with the best enological aptitudes. The vineyards of Quinta da Lagoalva benefit from a modern training system, just like the winery, which combines effective winemaking with great versatility of enological options, based on the dialogue between the “New World” model and traditional European methods.

Winemaking: Sourced from small plots, the carefully selected grapes are hand-harvested into boxes in September, early enough to arrive at the winery still in the morning. After 3 days of pre-fermentation maceration, alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless-steel tanks at 24°C. The pomace was pressed in a hydraulic press, and malolactic fermentation occurred in French oak barrels (new and second-year), where it aged for 14 months.

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.
