Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage 2024

Expected to ship in September. Case of 1 x 75cl
 
Only 167 cases produced in 2024.

The Nacional parcel sits at the heart of Quinta do Noval, planted with ungrafted vines untouched by phylloxera. It operates on its own terms — not following the rhythm of the rest of the estate, and always producing wines that are profoundly different.

Harvested on 30 September. Traditional vinification in the granite lagares with foot treading. Aged 18 months in oak and chestnut casks of 2,500 litres.

Blend: 100% Field Blend — Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz, Sousão

Tasting notes — Carlos Agrellos, Technical Director, April 2026
Immensely deep in colour, almost opaque. Complex nose of ripe wild berries, black cherry and plum, with dark chocolate, liquorice and fine spice. Dense, concentrated and remarkably precise on the palate, with broad tannins and a freshness that brings shape and definition. Long, persistent finish. A Nacional of great class, authority and ageing potential.
 
Ageing potential: 100 years.
