Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2018 (96 WE)
“While this vintage was not generally declared as such by the major Port houses, it has produced some very fine wines. This wine, still very young, is dry in style, full of black cherry and spice flavors along with intense acidity.”

Douro Valley, Portugal
Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is characterized by its purity of fruit and a fine and delicate quality that is typical of the wines of the property in general but which finds its most remarkable and enduring expression in the Vintage Ports. Equilibrium, harmony, finesse and elegance characterize these great Vintage Ports. Unlike other Port houses, Noval produces a Vintage Port every year using only a very strict selection of the very best lots, the quantity produced varying accordingly. It is made exclusively from grapes from the Quinta, in the heart of the Douro Valley. The wines selected for the Quinta do Noval Vintage Port blend represent only a small proportion of the total production.

One of the oldest port houses, Quinta do Noval is also arguably the greatest. It is unique among top port houses in that most of the ports are made from estate-grown fruit and, notably, all of the vintage Noval wines are from the single Quinta do Noval vineyard.
