Barcos Alvarinho "Reserva dos Sócios"

Where Alvarinho meets tradition and oak whisperings.
Born from the vines of Monção’s high-altitude terroir, this “Reserva dos Sócios” Alvarinho Castanho is Barcos Wines’ elite single-varietal Alvarinho, matured in Portuguese chestnut barrels for depth and elegance. Formerly part of the Adega Cooperativa Ponte da Barca legacy, Barcos now leads with purpose and precision—honouring its heritage while crafting age-worthy whites with real structure.

Why we love it:
This is one of the rare Alvarinho wines that marries oak complexity with coastal clarity. The chestnut barrel aging brings spice and texture, while the grape’s natural freshness remains luminous. Perfect for drinkers who appreciate Alvarinho but crave something more layered and refined—a standout for Irish palates, especially with fish and cheese pairings.
