Quinta do Noval's 2017 vintage Port, with around 6,000 cases released, showcases less than 14% of total vineyard production.

The 2017 vintage benefited from a hot and dry growing season, leading to early harvests and excellent fruit quality. The wine was aged for 18 months in wooden barrels, contributing to its complexity and elegance.

 

Tasting notes

Dense and inviting, it reveals a nose of dark chocolate and delicate herbs, leading to a ripe palate with mint undertones. Sweet blackcurrant flavors are embraced by broad, ripe tannins, offering great style. The winemaking team considers it one of Noval's finest. Enjoy between 2023 and 2045+. A blend of Touriga Naçional, Touriga Franc, Tinta Cão, and Sousão, aged for 18 months, this Port is a gem with damson, bilberry, violets, and blackcurrant notes.
