Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2017 is exuberantly ripe and aromatic, a vintage port. It boasts profound fruit and strong velvety tannins.

Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is characterised by its purity of fruit and a fine, delicate quality that is typical of the wines of the property in general. However, it finds its most remarkable and enduring expression in the Vintage Ports.

Winemakers tread the grapes by foot to obtain the must. Then, during fermentation, they macerate to obtain the best possible extraction in the Lagares, the traditional stone vats from the Quinta. It is matured for 18 months in wooden casks in the air-conditioned cellars of the Quinta, at the demarcated region of the Douro Valley before bottling.

Quinta do Noval features in land registries going back to 1715. It has been sold just twice in that time, once in the late 19th century, and to its present owners in 1993. Noval has, however, a reputation for being an innovative, independent producer. Noval’s focus on its vineyard and estate ports distinguishes it among others in the field.

The Vintage 2017 displayed a cold, dry winter followed by an exceptionally hot and dry spring and summer. Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2017 is a dense wine. It displays lots of rich, ripe black fruits, a meaty earthy quality and lots of pungent sweet spice. It will reward careful cellaring for at least half a century.
