LABRADOR SYRAH
THE DOURO EXPRESSSION OF A SYRAH
WINE GROWN AT QUINTA DO NOVAL
Unlimited curiosity
Limited availability
“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 very Douro-style personality rather than being typically Syrah.
Just for fun, we decided to bottle a small quantity of pure Syrah, which we called “Labrador Syrah” in honour of António Agrellos’ dog.”

Labrador Syrah 2007
90 pts - 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.

2007 was the first vintage year for Labrador Syrah.
100% Syrah
The expression of Syrah at Quinta do Noval is practically that of a local grape variety.
Syrah has become steeped in the local soil, which it expresses to perfection.
We use the “remontage” method for wine in stainless steel vats, with temperatures held at 26ºC.
MATURING
All wine is matured in French oak casks for approximately 18 months.
