Yes, Portugal does make an occasional Pinot Noir, although they are relatively few and far between. This is quite pleasing, opening gentle and friendly, with eathy aromatics (…) it is nicely balanced overall (…) it drinks well and feels full in the mouth. I was please to see this wake up nicely with some air, becoming crisper and livelier. It began to seem more impressive and it began to resemble Burgandy, pure and bright (…) this is quite nicely done.

Casta extraordinariamente exigente em termos de viticultura e enologia, encontra na Quinta do Rol e nas suas especificidades edafó – climáticas (temperaturas moderadas, baixas amplitudes térmicas, solos bem drenados), as condições necessárias para expressar toda a sua valia e potencial, confirmando de forma cabal a sua reputação de vinho de culto e que é possível fazer Pinot’s de grande qualidade em Portugal!
Este vinho estagiou durante 18 meses em cascos de carvalho francês, tanto novos como usados, e cumpriu estágio em garrafa de 6 meses.
De cor granada, o seu aroma revela – se complexo, sendo perceptíveis notas florais (violetas), frutadas (morango, framboesa, cereja), telúricas (terra, cogumelos) e especiadas, num conjunto em que a madeira encontra – se perfeitamente integrada.
Na boca, apresenta – se complexo, sedoso e envolvente, perfeitamente estruturado e de final longo.
Deve ser acompanhado de peixes gordos e carnes frias.
