Lagoalva Reserve
A classic Portuguese Reserva that showcases the strengths of the Tejo region in concentrated form: dark fruit, structure and length.
Quinta da Lagoalva lies in the heart of the Tagus region, where the winery has cultivated the indigenous grape varieties Castelão, Touriga Nacional, and Trincadeira for generations. The clay and limestone soils retain moisture and slow the ripening process, giving the grapes more time to develop aromas before harvesting begins.
In the glass, the wine shines a rich garnet red. The nose reveals ripe blackberry, black plum, and a hint of clove, underpinned by vanilla from the oak aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied without feeling heavy—the tannins are present but well-integrated, and the finish lingers with a light spicy note.
Serving temperature: 16–18 °C . Pairs well with braised lamb loin, venison stew, or a mature Manchego cheese. It also goes well with roast chicken with herbs. Ready to drink now, but will easily keep for another two to three years.
On the southern bank of the Tagus River, not far from the Portuguese town of Alpiarça, lies Quinta da Lagoalva – a winery with a history dating back to the 19th century. As early as 1888, they proudly presented 600 barrels of wine at the Portuguese Industrial Exhibition. This spirit of tradition and passion continues to shape their wines today.
The landscape surrounding the Quinta is uniquely natural: wetlands, vast fields, and the tranquil river. All of this is reflected in the wines, which combine depth and elegance with authentic Portuguese character – from powerful red wines to the exquisite sparkling wines of the premium Dona Isabel Juliana line.
