Quinta do Noval
Quinta do Noval is one of the most evocative of names and the maker of the most famous of all Vintage Ports - Naçional. The scourge of European vineyards in the late 19th century, the phylloxera aphid was thwarted at Noval's best vineyard by intense fumigation and, rather than grafting the vines on to American root-stocks, which was the usual practice, they managed to survive using Portuguese stock - hence "Naçional".
The Quinta do Noval itself lies perfectly situated along a steep hillside where the vines flourish and produce the highest-grade fruit. Noval today appears to be thriving under the ownership of insurance group AXA, ensuring that their Vintage Port remains one of the most sought-after wines.

The 2007 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is a star of the vintage. Dense purple-colored, it gives up an already complex aromatic array of lavender, Asian spices, incense, and an amalgam of black fruits with a hint of chocolate in the background. Plush and mouth-filling, this large-scaled Port manages ... MORE Parker Score: 94/100 | ||||

Tawny Ports of this age, the oldest designation allowed, are true rarities. This example from Noval is medium-bodied yet rich and concentrated, with a deliciously complex `rancio' character on the nose. Beautifully balanced with a rich palate; sweet, long and luscious. | ||||
