Quinta do Noval Vintage 2022

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, but which finds its most remarkable and enduring expression in the Vintage Ports. Equilibrium, harmony, finesse and elegance characterise our great Vintage Ports, which are declared only when we are certain that the year has produced a blend, however small, that is worthy of bearing the name of Quinta do Noval Vintage Port.

Grape Varieties: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Sousão, Field Blend As usual, we have made a rigorous selection of the best batches of wines from different parcels of the Quinta. This year's blend is made up of seven different lots from the Pinhão valley and one from the Roncão valley.

Tasting Notes: Our Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2022 impresses with its remarkable concentration, showcasing the characteristic luscious ripe fruit flavours of black plums, violets, and wild berries that Noval is renowned for. All these attributes, which highlight the Vale de Mendiz terroir, possess depth and spice, complemented by a delightful perfume that intertwines seamlessly with its velvety, luxurious texture.

Vinification: Grapes are trodden by foot to obtain the must, then they macerate in the lagares, the traditional stone vats from the Quinta, to ensure the best possible extraction of aromas, colour and tannins during fermentation.

Ageing: 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.
