No secondary-market bottles, just the reassurance that these rare Vintages have been properly kept and are in excellent condition. Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is produced from the finest parcels of the Quinta do Noval estate, using traditional Douro varieties including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinto Cão, Sousão and Tinta Roriz. The grapes are foot-trodden in the estate's granite lagares before ageing for 18 months in wooden casks. The 2021 vintage followed a wet winter and mild spring, which replenished the soil's water reserves. After a hot and humid June, July and August were notably mild, allowing for slow and homogeneous ripening with less dehydration than in 2020. Noval describes the 2021 as a vintage of “purity of fruit”, with equilibrium, harmony, finesse and elegance at its core. The result is an elegant and finely structured Vintage Port, combining pure floral and dark-fruit aromas with dense, firm tannins, freshness and remarkable balance. The 2021 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port was selected from only 4% of the estate's total Port production, with 1,500 cases produced.
