Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2019 is a delightful field blend port, well justifying this port house‘s tendency to declare a vintage every year.

2019 was marked by a mild winter and generally dry conditions, with almost no rain from May to the end of August. While in many parts of Europe producers faced heatwaves, summer temperatures in the Douro fortunately stayed lower than usual this year, although the region prolonged sunny weather. This made the absence of rain easier to bear for the vines. Moreover, low humidity led to low disease pressure in the vineyards and beautiful healthy grapes.

The 2019 Vintage Port is a field blend which aged for 18 months in old wood vats. It was bottled May 4, 2021, and has 100 grams of residual sugar. This port boasts expressive fruit and structure, finishing dry and seriously. It displays beautiful balance now but will definitely improve in the long term, and needs the rest of this decade, at least, in the cellar to show better.

Plenty of dark fruit carried by an intense note of cassis wrapped round a fleshy, tannic core. Good harmony in the mouth, slightly sappy with elderberry coming through on the finish. Lovely length and structure overall, this is a fine wine for the mid-term, a deliciously fresh and fruity Noval.

Enjoy Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2019 with a rich cheeseboard for a classic food pairing.
