Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port 2022
Porto
January 15, 2026 - The Nacional parcel at Quinta do Noval, with ungrafted vines untouched by phylloxera, produces a unique wine, often made in years when the Quinta doesn't declare a Vintage Port. In years of dual production, the Nacional remains quite distinct as the more opulent of the two. Known for its power, the Nacional offers aromas of dark fruits, spices, mint, and licorice. The palate is rich and fresh, with concentrated blackberry fruit, intense tannins, and remarkable depth.
Wine Enthusiast - December 31, 2024 "Even better than the impressive 2021 Nacional, this is a magnificent Port. It comes from a small parcel of ungrafted vines on the Noval estate. Beautifully perfumed, ripe with sweetness…
Wine Advocate - December 12, 2024 "The 2022 Vintage Port Nacional was produced with grapes from ungrafted vines [...] quite similar parameters to the regular Vintage Port from the same vintage, and it's quite low in…
Wine Spectator - December 31, 2024 "Dense and dark, with a burly edge as walnut husk, singed alder and warm earth accents peek out from a core of steeped black currant and blackberry reduction flavors. The…
Quinta do Noval Cedro 2022
Vinho Regional Duriense
January 12, 2026 - Charm and accessibility in an authentically Douro style. Named after the emblematic cedar tree that dominates the terrace of Quinta do Noval, Cedro do Noval is an authentic expression of the Douro.
Wine Enthusiast - August 12, 2024 "This wood-aged wine is a new addition to the Noval range. Its spice and white fruits are dense with great intensity. The Douro minerality is in the background, giving structure."
Wine Spectator - December 04, 2025 "Minerally stone, iron and smoke accents underscore a lush mix of blackberry paste, roasted plum and warm fig flavors, plus fragrant notes of mountain herbs, licorice and mocha. A well-tailored…
E. Guigal Saint-Joseph Vignes de l’Hospice 2021
Saint-Joseph
January 12, 2026 - Guigal’s Vignes de l’Hospice is one of the finest sites in the Northern Rhone Valley. Guigal now owns the majority of this steeply terraced vineyard. Guigal is often asked when they will produce a fourth “LaLa,” and their response is that their fourth single vineyard phenomenon of the Northern Rhone is already being produced: the Vignes de l’Hospice.
Wine Advocate - November 20, 2025 "A real success in the context of the vintage, the 2021 Saint-Joseph Vignes de l'Hospice unfurls in the glass with aromas of dark berries, licorice, chocolate, spices and mulberries, mingled…
James Suckling - May 02, 2024
Jeb Dunnuck - May 09, 2025 "An incredible achievement in this challenging vintage, the 2021 Saint Joseph Vignes De L'Hospice boasts cassis, crushed stone, bacon fat, and violet aromas and flavors. Serious, long, and elegant, it…
