Quinta Do Noval Porto 10 Year Old Tawny
750ML
2010
Sku: 36406NV1
As one of the oldest port houses, Quinta do Noval is unique
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. As Robert Parker writes in
his 2005 book, The World's Greatest Wine Estates: “Quinta
do Noval is unusual among the great traditional Port
houses in that it emphasizes the importance of the
vineyard. The aim is to produce classic Vintage Ports that
are harmonious and elegant expressions of Quinta do
Noval's terroir. Strict selection in the vineyard, low yields,
and strict selection again in the tasting room result in a
small production.”
| Tasting notes |
| The wine is light amber, full
bodied, sweet and rich in taste, it has an attractive nuttiness and a remarkable lingering finish despite its
age. |
| Technical notes |
| Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Francesca and Tinta Barroca are the major grape varieties. All
grapes were estate grown, and crushed by foot in lagares and aged in oak. |
