Quinta do Noval Petit Verdot 2021

Quinta do Noval Petit Verdot 2021 is a wine with a strong individual personality and enormous quality potential. It needs sun and warmth to fully mature, and has adapted extremely well to the Douro, producing a single varietal wine of exuberant character and individuality. Deeply concentrated colour, moderate alcohol content, good structure and lively acidity. It is a wine that not only pairs excellently with grilled or roasted red meats, but also enriches more complex dishes such as mushroom risottos and matured cheeses. It is a robust and sophisticated expression, promising to evolve magnificently over time.

Vinification: This wine is fermented in stainless steel vats for 8 days, followed by malolactic fermentation. It is aged in 225-litre French oak barrels for 12 months, 40% in new barrels.

Tasting notes: It is full-bodied and structured, with firm, well-integrated tannins that give it a velvety texture. The well-balanced acidity provides a freshness that contrasts perfectly with the intensity of the flavours. The continuity of black fruit is complemented by notes of cocoa and coffee, culminating in a long, persistent finish marked by a mineral subtlety.
