Origin

The Avarino Red by Nestor is produced in Portugal, specifically from the Vinho Verde region, known for its unique terroir and traditional winemaking practices.

Variety

This red wine is crafted primarily from the native Portuguese grape variety called Vinhão, which is characteristic of the Vinho Verde region and known for its deep color and robust flavor profile.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation to preserve their natural acidity and vibrant fruit character. The wine is aged briefly in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness and enhance its aromatic profile.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple hues.
  • Aroma: Intense aromas of ripe red berries, black cherries, and subtle floral notes.
  • Palate: Medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, smooth tannins, and flavors of dark fruit complemented by a hint of spice.
  • Finish: Fresh and persistent finish with a balanced structure.

Food pairings

  • Grilled red meats such as beef or lamb.
  • Hearty stews and casseroles.
  • Rich pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces.
  • Mature cheeses like Manchego or aged Gouda.
