This estate was born in 2016, on a property overlooking Silves, near the Arade river. A Land exposed to northern winds, which allows great daily thermal amplitudes. A Mediterranean climate with Atlantic influence, complemented by a calcareous clay and a hint of destiny.
Arade means “refuge”, a safe haven that carries the weight of history. It was here, in this region, that wine was introduced into Portuguese territory. Brought by the Phoenicians, centuries ago, it made root in Silves, filled with eastern rumours and carrying a whole sea within it. A wine of exchange and discovery that, in a single seep, made civilization out of barbarism.
Our winery has an ever present sense of time, where space has the colours and whispers of the earth, and tradition foresees each tasting.
Here, a visit is a narrative of flavour, through red grape varieties such as Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon and Negra Mole, or White grape varieties such as Alvarinho, Arinto and Sauvignon Blanc, and a feeling that rises from the first vines up until the last pouring of a glass.
To know these vineyards is to walk through two paths of a complementary history: One that comes from the region’s past and the other, which reveals a winemaking knowledge, a process that started back in 2019.
The trueness of a place can also be tasted.
In our winery’s porch, between amphorae and view that leads to the Arade river, it is possible to try these wines and retain the nice aftertaste of the Phoenician Algarve.
