Arvad Tinto 2020

ARVAD means refuge and was the name initially given more than 2,500 years ago by the Phoenician peoples to the river Arade. Extending along the left bank of this river, the vineyard takes root on the north-facing slope with a privileged view over Silves.

Grape Varieties: Touriga Nacional, Alicante Bouschet and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tasting Note: Ruby. Elegant combination of ripe red fruits and balsamic notes. Subtle notes of spices and vanilla. Full but elegant. The elegance and the sea freshness accompany a long finish. It is captivating due to its silky texture while still being vibrant and firm. Particularly pleasant to accompany a meal with a starter, meat dishes or even on its own, at any time. 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 9 months.

Winemaker: Bernardo Cabral
