Lagoalva

The long tradition of Quinta da Lagoalva as a wine producer is evidenced by its presence at the 1888 Portuguese Industry Exhibition, where it showcased 600 casks of wine.

The Lagoalva rosé wine is born among the estate’s 45 hectares of vineyards, planted in the best “terroirs” of the Tejo region and composed of national and international grape varieties with proven enological qualities. The vineyards of Quinta da Lagoalva benefit from a modern training system, just like the winery, which combines efficient winemaking with a great versatility of enological choices, balancing the “New World” model with traditional European approaches.

Winemaking: Harvested mechanically in September during the night to preserve aromas, the grapes were immediately processed at our winery. After flotation, the clarified must fermented in stainless steel tanks at 16ºC. The two grape varieties were vinified separately, and the final blend was fined, stabilized, and filtered before bottling.

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.
