About this product

Elegant. Atlantic-kissed. The refined face of Alvarinho.
Gafa Reserva Alvarinho is the premium Alvarinho cuvée from Barcos, the refreshed identity of the historic Adega Cooperativa Ponte da Barca. Crafted from 100% Alvarinho sourced from sunlit, granite-soiled vineyards along the Alfandega da Barca and Arcos de Valdevez region, this wine is the bridge between tradition and modern finesse.

This Reserve bottling is aged in stainless steel, with gentle decanting and controlled fermentation between 16–18 °C. The result: a wine of crystalline purity that captures Alvarinho’s intense aromatics, vibrant structure, and coastal minerality

Why we love it:
Gafa Reserva is Alvarinho elevated—bright, structured, and made with care. Its saline minerality and tropical fruit core make it more than a refreshing sip—it’s a compelling expression of terroir and technique at its best.

Country of origin

Portugal

Vinho Verde DOC

  • Alvarinho

Colour
Bright citrine with a green-gold sheen.

Nose
Intense and elegant—lime, green apple, tropical fruit, white flowers, and mineral hints.

Palate
Full-bodied yet poised. Zesty citrus meets stone fruit and saline minerality, balanced by vibrant acidity and lingering refinement.

A refined match for elevated fare:

  • Lobster, prawns, oysters, or grilled sea bass
  • Ceviche or seafood risotto
  • Poultry with citrus herbs, or creamy goat cheese dishes
  • Fresh garden salad with feta or avocado

Serve chilled at 10–12 °C to showcase its aromatic precision and saline lift.
