Rich aromatic notes of red cherry, clove and anise are framed by toasted oak and herbs. Layers of complexity abound from all these generous aromatic elements and reveal to us a Pinot Noir of great power and persistence. Deeply concentrated red berries define the palate.
Density, a sense of oak, fine tannins and crisp acidity combine to create a long and complex finish. Enjoy The Journey Pinot Noir with Beef Wellington served with roasted winter vegetables.
Quinta do Noval Colheita is a rare Port produced in small quantities. This is a dated Port Tawny. Each Colheita takes its personality from the Quinta do Noval terroir and the vintage, like the Vintage Port, but is aged in barrels until bottling.
Quinta do Noval 2007 Colheita has a lovely amber color with more dark tawny core. It is very intense and concentrated on the nose and presents a harmonious and rich blend of aromas. Some citrus notes then appear in combination with their minerality and velvety texture, thus giving a very lively wine that will surprise you!
The "Finca El Grajo Viejo" (old vineyard), is strategically located at the foot of the Manvirgo hill between Anguix & Roa, at an altitude of 815 meters and facing south. The Seleccion El Grajo Viejo (single vineyard) is the cream of Protos wines. Produced from 100% Tinta del Pais from a single 70 year old vineyard. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 500 liter French barrels at a controlled temperature and is then left to mature for 18 months in new French barrels and 12 months in the bottles.
It has a deep purple color with purple hues and is an elegant wine, with good aromatic range and great complexity. More specifically, the aromatic bouquet consists of extremely ripe black fruits, mocha, spices and finally some balsamic and mineral notes. In the mouth it is delicious full bodied but with fine and elegant tannins, with the acidity of the vines grown on poor land bringing the balance. Long, pleasant, slightly salty and persistent finish and great aging potential due to its structured tannins and noble acidity. Enjoy it with roast pork, red meat, chorizos, foie gras and mature cheeses.
