Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2021 is a brooding, tightly structured wine packed with dark plum, blackberry and cassis depth, framed by polished yet powerful tannins and a graphite-like spine. Layers of cocoa, licorice and dark roast accents build on the long, savory finish, promising impressive complexity as it ages.

Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is the estate’s classic declared-vintage wine, made only in exceptional years from selected plots of its steep schist terraces in the Douro and traditionally foot-trodden in granite lagares before around 18 months’ maturation in large old wood. Typically based on Touriga Nacional with Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz and Sousão, it is known for combining great concentration and power with a distinctive Noval elegance, purity of dark fruit and fine, long tannins, built to age gracefully for decades in bottle.
