Arruda is a sub-region of Lisboa, Portugal.

Growers build the wines around Tempranillo, filling out the blend with Garnacha - Tempranillo, Arinto and Vital.

The ground underneath is clay, limestone and marl.

The climate is maritime/oceanic.

The vineyards themselves read as slopes and valley floor.

Red wine and white wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows plush and expressive, ripe fruit and good structure, aromatic and fresh and showcasing local varietals.

At the table these bottles work with grilled meats, pasta dishes and cheese plates.
