Quinta do Noval Petit Verdot Tinto 2020

Petit Verdot is a great variety of strong individual personality and enormous quality potential. Best known for its presence in small proportion in the blends of the great wines of the Médoc. It needs sunshine and heat to ripen fully, and has adapted extremely well to the Douro to produce a varietal wine of exuberant character and individuality.

Grape Varieties: This wine is entirely made with Petit Verdot, from the Quinta do Noval vineyard in the heart of the Douro valley.

Tasting Note: Very dark colour that transmits power through the wine. The nose is very expressive with tight aromas of wild berries. On the palate, very well-integrated oaky aromas backed by a strong tannic backbone. Tremendous long finish. This wine will improve in bottle for many years.

Vinification: This wine is fermented in stainless steel vats for a period of 8 days, where it then undergoes malolactic fermentation.

Ageing: The wine is aged in wooden barrels for 12 months, with 30% in new French oak barrels of 225 litres.

Serving Temperature: 16ºC-18ºC

Winemaker: António Agrellos
