Lagoalva

The long tradition of Quinta da Lagoalva as a wine producer is evidenced as early as 1888, when it participated in the Portuguese Industry Exhibition with 600 barrels of wine.

The Lagoalva Pet Nat sparkling wine originates from the 45 hectares of vineyards at Quinta da Lagoalva, planted in the finest Tejo terroirs and composed of national and international grape varieties with the best enological potential. The vineyards benefit from a modern training system, just like the state-of-the-art winery, which combines efficient winemaking with great versatility in enological choices, balancing New World techniques with traditional European methods.

Winemaking: After pressing, the clarified must undergoes flotation and ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16ºC. At the end of fermentation (around 1012 density), the still-hazy wine is bottled, where it completes fermentation under a crown cap. After 9 months of aging in the bottle in contact with the lees, it is released to the market.

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.
