Our wines continue to gain international recognition. The Alvarinho 2024 and Alvarinho Reserva 2022 vintages were both awarded gold medals at the Asia Wine Challenge™ 2025, an international competition held in Hong Kong and regarded as one of the most prestigious wine contests in the Asian market, with all wines evaluated exclusively by professional wine buyers.
“Seeing our Alvarinhos receive awards on the other side of the world is an immense honour. These medals represent not only a recognition of quality, but also the international potential of our wines,” says Carlos Codesso, producer at Dona Paterna.
These accolades reinforce 2025 as an especially remarkable year for our brand: we have already earned gold medals at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, VINARIUM, Portugal Wine Trophy, Frankfurt Trophy, Sommeliers Choice Awards, and at the regional competition “Os Melhores Verdes 2025” (The Best of the Vinhos Verdes Region).

AWARD-WINNING WINES
ALVARINHO DONA PATERNA 2024
A true classic of the house. A wine full of delicacy, freshness, and minerality, with subtle notes of white fruit, citrus, saline hints, and floral aromas.
Perfect as an aperitif or to pair with seafood, fish dishes, or white meats.
Serve at 10–11ºC.
ALVARINHO RESERVA DONA PATERNA 2022
Crafted from the oldest vines, this wine is fermented and aged in French oak barrels for ten months.
It presents a bright citrine colour, an elegant and persistent aroma with barrel-aged nuances, while maintaining the freshness and fruit characteristic of the Alvarinho grape.
Serve at 12–13ºC.
The Asia Wine Challenge™ is known for its rigorous evaluation process: all wines are triple blind tasted by a panel of professional buyers — meaning wines are judged with no label, no producer information, and no country of origin revealed, ensuring objective and reliable results.
