2.4 ha Smallholding in Lobrigos - Santa Marta de Penaguiao
At the top of the Douro Vinhateiro hillsides, this 2.4-hectare smallholding in Lobrigos (Santa Marta de Penaguiao) is a rare opportunity for those looking to invest in the tradition and future of Portuguese wine. The property is just 200 m from the EN2 road (km 84.8) - an iconic route that brings visibility and easy access.
What makes this smallholding special:
- Area: 2.4 ha;
- Grape varieties: a balanced mix of noble Douro varieties:
- Touriga Nacional - 32%
- Tinta Roriz - 32%
- Touriga Franca - 25%
- Tinto Cao - 11%
- Planting in two phases: one plot planted in 2006 and another in 2010, giving the vineyard a combination of maturity and vigour that can translate into character and complexity in the wine;
- 2 small schist buildings - traditional structures with great scenic and historical value; not habitable in their current state, but offering excellent possibilities for restoration as agricultural support, storage, or an oenotourism project (subject to technical project and licensing);
- 3 rainwater tanks with a total capacity of approximately 25,000 L, essential for water management and sustainable irrigation;
- 68 olive trees marking the property boundaries, adding productive diversity and visual charm;
- Access: very close to the EN2 (200 m), with easy connection to Santa Marta de Penaguiao, Peso da Regua and Vila Real.
Potential and recommended uses
This smallholding is ideal for those looking for:
- A small-scale wine-growing project with traditional Douro grape varieties;
- Creating a boutique label that makes the most of the combination of the two plots (2006 / 2010) to add complexity to the wine;
- A mixed agricultural project (vines + olive grove) focused on sustainable production;
- A light tourism project (tastings, visits, experiences) taking advantage of the proximity to the EN2 and the region's tourist flow - after restoration and licensing of the existing buildings;
- Investors who value rural heritage and wish to restore schist materials and walls, preserving local identity.
