Quinta do Noval, Noval 20 Year Old Tawny Port, Douro Valley, Portugal

Viticulture

Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão and Sousão predominate among the traditional grape varieties of the Demarcated Region of the Douro Valley.

Winemaking

The grapes were trodden by foot and fermented in the traditional lagares of the Quinta, to obtain the best extraction. Noval Tawny 20 years is a blend of old Ports from different vintages, with an average age of 20 years, matured in 640L wooden casks called cascos.

Tasting Note

The Noval 20 Year Old Tawny Port has an amber colour with golden highlights. This port has great purity, unfailing nobility and perfect balance. Everything it has acquired during its ageing in wooden casks is perfectly integrated here, with a highly complex range of aromas including dried fruit such as almonds and walnuts, cherries in brandy and hints of salted caramel.
