Arvad Reserva Tinto 2019

ARVAD means refuge and was the name originally given over 2,500 years ago by the Phoenician people to the Arade River. Stretching along the left bank of this river, the vine takes root in the hillside oriented to the north with a privileged view over Silves.

Grape Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Alicante Bouschet (20%) and Touriga Nacional (10%).

Tasting Note: Ruby. Highlights a very complete tasting, where fruits like cassis and ripe raspberry, as well as tobacco and spices, harmoniously coexist. It has a vibrant, enveloping and full tasting, with high quality tannins present, guaranteeing the longevity of this wine. The finish is deep and very persistent. Particularly pleasant to be served with grilled or cooked red meat dishes, game and matured cheeses. It should be served at 16/18ºC of temperature.

Vinification: Manual harvest for 15 kg boxes, grape selection and fermentation for 10 days at 24ºC. Partial aging in French oak barrels for 10 months.

Winemaker: Bernardo Cabral
