Arcadela Reserva Douro DOC Red 2023

Arcadela Douro DOC Reserva Red 2023

A Douro Reserva with a classic, deep, and very well-defined profile. The Arcadela Reserva Red 2023 originates from a precise blend of Touriga Nacional (80%) and Tinta Roriz (20%), combining aromatic elegance, structure, and freshness in a confident and gastronomic interpretation of the Douro.

On the nose, it presents a complex and engaging aroma, marked by ripe red fruits, blueberries, currants, and cherries, accompanied by notes of vanilla and cinnamon, derived from barrel aging.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and very smooth, with fine and ripe tannins, excellent acidity, and a long and persistent finish that invites you to the table and to the next sip.
