We’ve just won a prestigious international accolade: Dona Paterna sparkling wines are among the 50 best in the world, as part of Wine Pleasures’ 50 Great Sparkling Wines 2025 competition.

Dona Paterna Sparkling Brut 100% Alvarinho 2022 – a wine that represents the elegance and authenticity of the Alvarinho grape variety – stood out with a remarkable score of 94 points, reaching 17th place in the ranking. Rosé Dona Paterna 2015 – a fresh and sophisticated nectar – scored 92 points, securing 28th place. Both labels received silver medals, reaffirming the excellence and quality of Dona Paterna wines.

The inclusion of these sparkling wines on the Wine Pleasures list is testimony to the dedicated work of our team. “These distinctions are a reflection of the work, passion and commitment of our team. We believe in the potential of our sub-region (Monção & Melgaço) to produce sparkling wines of excellence and these awards are proof of that.”, says Carlos Codesso.

With Christmas fast approaching, these award-winning sparkling wines are the perfect choice for celebrating special moments and toasting with family and friends. Available in different wine cellars across the country, “Dona Paterna sparkling wines are the ideal gift to surprise this festive season.”, says Carlos Codesso.
