Quinta do Noval Colheita 2007

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 weather in 2007 was nicely balanced between rainfall in spring and slightly cool summer nights. It was an exceptional year with very specific characteristics. In particular, the winter rains that were abundant, followed by a relatively mild summer, with beautiful sunny days followed by cool nights, thus providing ideal conditions for optimal ripening of the grapes. Sugars came from slow ripening of the grapes.
With the exception of two rainy days towards the end of September, the harvest took place in magnificent sunshine and the grapes were in perfect condition.
Fermentations were slower than usual and easy to control. The first tastings revealed wines marked by elegance, finesse and outstanding balance. Overall
