O Produtor, tasting note published in May 27th 2021

Cedro do Noval 2019 reveals an intense aroma, with floral and ripe red fruit notes, complemented by elegant hints of wood, spices, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is concentrated, with expressive fruit and a very noticeable freshness. The finish is long and complex, with well-balanced tannins. While already delicious to drink now, this wine has excellent aging potential.

Cedro do Noval

Named after the emblematic cedar tree that dominates Quinta do Noval’s terrace, Cedro is an authentic expression of the Douro. Composed mainly of Portuguese grape varieties, it also includes Syrah, which rounds out the fruit and gives the wine remarkable charm and accessibility.

VINTAGE CHARACTERISTICS
The year 2019 was marked by a mild winter and generally dry conditions, with almost no rain from May until the end of August. While many regions in Europe faced heatwaves, summer temperatures in the Douro were fortunately lower than usual, helping the vines withstand the lack of rain. Moreover, the low humidity reduced disease pressure in the vineyards, resulting in healthy grapes of excellent quality.

VINIFICATION
The different grape varieties are fermented separately in stainless steel vats for 7 days, followed by malolactic fermentation.

AGING
Each grape variety is aged separately for 11 months in wooden barrels, 15% of which are new 225-liter French oak barrels. The final blend is made one month before bottling.

Allergens information

Contains sulphites.

Quinta do Noval

The property, with 145 hectares dominating the Pinhão Valley, is the soul and essence of Quinta do Noval. The soil is essentially composed of schist rock, making all vineyard work particularly difficult. Quinta do Noval replanted, since 1994, 100 hectares of vineyard with the noblest grape varieties of the Douro region, adapting pruning methods to the typology of the plots. The plots were replanted in batches of a single variety, each one chosen according to the characteristics of each parcel of land: altitude, sun exposure, and vine planting type.

Today, plots planted with mixed grape varieties are progressively disappearing from the Douro Valley. Noval was a pioneer in this trend, being the first to replant vineyards while conserving intact the magnificent traditional terraces with their walls of schist stone.

Quinta do Noval is the only historic Port wine shipper to bear the name of its estate. The identity of Quinta do Noval is rooted in its terroir.

The consistency of style of Quinta do Noval’s Vintage Ports over the decades is one of the particularities of Quinta do Noval in the world of Port. Consistency simply because all Vintage Ports come from a single vineyard, a magical place.

The place is so beautiful, so remarkable, that the idea of being part of something greater than us, that existed before us, and will exist after us, is always present. The notion of continuity is fundamental: our obligation to the past, our responsibility in the present for the vineyard and its wines, and our obligations to future generations who will tend the vineyard and produce wine as we do today.
