Arruda
Location: Portugal
Legal name: DOC Arruda
Arruda is a Portuguese wine-geography entry for the Lisboa context, useful for reading labels that name a DOC, DOP, or recognized subregional origin rather than only the broad region. Its practical identity is a Lisboa DOC shaped by clay-limestone hills. Typical wines are medium-bodied reds with red fruit and spice; whites with citrus and floral notes. The vineyard setting is Lisboa hills with clay-limestone soils and Atlantic moderation. This entry is written as a reference-encyclopedia geography note: it explains place, grapes, style, and label context without ranking estates or turning the appellation into a buying list.
Notable Rules
Portuguese DOC / DOP or protected geographic designation in the Lisboa wine region; the name protects origin and production rules rather than estate status.
Also Known As
