All our Nacional bottles were purchased directly from Quinta do Noval as first-hand stock, with known provenance and storage history. No secondary-market bottles, just the reassurance that these rare Vintages have been properly kept and are in excellent condition.

The Nacional parcel occupies a small plot at the centre of Quinta do Noval, planted with ungrafted, own-rooted vines that phylloxera never reached. It has its own logic within the estate: in some years it delivers a Nacional even when the regular Quinta do Noval Vintage isn't declared, and in others the reverse is true. The two rarely follow the same pattern.

Grapes were picked on 30 September and vinified the traditional way — foot-trodden in granite lagares — before eighteen months of maturation in 2,500-litre oak and chestnut casks. The blend is a field mix of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz and Sousão, planted and harvested together as a single parcel rather than assembled afterwards.

Technical Director Carlos Agrellos (April 2026) describes a wine of near-opaque depth, with wild berry, black cherry and plum fruit layered against dark chocolate, liquorice and spice. On the palate it shows concentration and precision, broad tannins and a freshness that gives the wine shape, closing on a long finish. He rates its ageing potential at up to a century.
