Quinta do Noval Colheita 1976

Quinta do Noval Colheita is a rare Port produced in small quantities. It is a dated Tawny Port.
Each Colheita takes its personality from the Quinta do Noval terroir and from the vintage, like our Vintage Port, but aged in barrels until bottling.
 
Characteristics of the vintage
The 1976 viticultural year was characterised by very low production. During the growing cycle the temperatures were always above average and the summer was extremely hot and dry. It only rained a little in August. Picking began on the 23rd of September and the harvest was very short, only two and a half weeks. The picking period was characterised by very cool temperatures, only 20°-22°C, and frequent rain. It was possible even with these conditions and due to some very healthy batches of grapes, to produce Port wines that with age proved to be of great quality
