Arvad Touriga Nacional 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: Touriga Nacional

Tasting Note: Ruby. The violet and bergamot notes characteristic of the grape variety are surrounded by ripe black fruit, with the notes of the barrels in which it was discreetly aged, completing the tasting. It has a very involving tasting, smooth but with great persistence. Ideal to be served with some cod dishes, red meat and soft 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
