Description
"Quinta do Noval is an historic name with iconic status in the world of wine. But it is above all a vineyard. In the heart of the Douro Valley, great wines have been made in this place since the early 18th century. This wine is a perfect expression of the Noval Tawny style. It has acquired the classical attributes of an old Tawny Port, while at the same time retaining much of the freshness and fruit of its youth. The grapes were trodden by foot and fermented in the traditional lagares of the Quinta, to obtain the best extraction. Noval Tawny 10 years is a blend of old Ports from different vintages, matured in oak casks and with an average age of 10 years. A beautiful Old Tawny colour, recognisable from its brilliance. Amongst the complex aromas, young and very lively fruit blends prettily with appealing and typical aromas of dry fruit such as hazelnut. Rich and smooth on the palate, it delivers an elegant structure and long lingering finish." - Carlos Agrellos, Technical Director
