45-hectare estate in the Alenquer sub-region of Lisbon, owned by the Tavares da Silva family since 1987 and managed by acclaimed winemaker Sandra Tavares da Silva. Multiple SKUs listed at Sweden's Systembolaget, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Arinto, Red and Vinha Mãe.
Quinta de Chocapalha is a 45-hectare estate in Aldeia Galega da Merceana, in the Alenquer sub-region of the Lisboa wine region, whose vineyards have been cited for quality since the 16th century. The Tavares da Silva family acquired the property in 1987, and wines are made by Sandra Tavares da Silva — one of Portugal’s most acclaimed winemakers, also of Wine & Soul in the Douro.
In Sweden, the estate holds one of the broader Portuguese positions in Systembolaget: multiple SKUs are documented, including Quinta de Chocapalha Red 2019 (product 8327101) and Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 (product 9534301), alongside Arinto and Vinha Mãe references, and the estate has its own producer assortment page on systembolaget.se. Swedish representation runs through named importer Handpicked Wines Sweden AB.
Most Portuguese wine shelf-space in the Nordics is fought over by the Douro, Vinho Verde and Alentejo; a multi-SKU Systembolaget position for an Alenquer estate widens the map of Portuguese regions with verified Nordic monopoly placement — and a named winemaker with international standing gives Swedish buyers a reason to keep listing.
