This 2016 Syrah Douro red wine is from the famous Quinta do Noval Estate and is part of their superb range of red table wines.

This pretty, peppery red offers fine balance and texture. Cherry, mineral and spice flood the midpalate, with notes of mocha, mineral and dark chocolate on the finish.

"I am always ready to try grape varieties from other parts of the world. I simply feel it essential that they adjust well to their new environment and integrate as if they were Douro grapes. As it happens, Syrah adapts perfectly. It expresses a personality here that is strongly marked by the Douro Valley rather than that of varietal Syrah.”
Christian Seely- Managing Director of Quinta Do Noval
