Terroir Series is a new range launched by Quinta do Noval, an opportunity to explore specific terroirs identified as exceptional.

MARKA VINEYARDS
A few years ago, Quinta do Noval concluded an agreement with the Agrellos family for the long term lease of the Quinta da Marka vineyard, which we had identified as having exceptional terroir potential for the production of quality wines. This potential was revealed by the excellent red wines that were produced at Quinta da Marka in the 2019 vintage. These were so outstanding, that we decided to release a very limited volume of 2019 Marka Vineyards sourced from a 1.45 hectare plot of old vines in the heart of Marka. These old vines planted in 1930 are a blend of over 30 different traditional grape varieties. Quinta do Noval Vinhas da Marka is fine, deep and powerful, with complex aromatic notes that develop in the glass, but above all harmonious, fresh, balanced and elegant.

TASTING NOTES
Wonderfully complex and seductive, aromatic and fine, with ripe fruit, minerality, subtle foliage and creamy vanilla notes. It has sophistication and elegance and is refreshing at the same time. A bit kaleidoscopic, this complex mix of elements is a fascinating discovery in the glass. Its velvety texture, mouth-watering acidity and impeccable balance guarantee a long finish.

GRAPE VARIETIES
A blend of over 30 different traditional grape varieties from the old vineyards of Quinta da Marka.

VINIFICATION
This wine is made with hand picked grapes, manual sorting and complete destemming of the grape bunches. Selected yeasts are used to master the fermentative cycle. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel truncated cone vats at a controlled temperature between 25°C and 27°C. It is followed by malolactic fermentation also conducted in stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels.

AGEING
The wine is aged for 12 months in 225 litre French oak barrels, 80% new and 20% second year.
