  Quinta do Noval 2016 Late Bottled Vintage Port Wine Portugal 75 cl 19,5%

  Item no.: 22227865479-113

  2016 was one of those years when the Douro's grapes reached a rare concentration. Five years on, unfiltered and full of spiced dark fruit, this LBV shows what the wait can achieve.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval 2016 Late Bottled Vintage is a Portuguese LBV Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 19.5%.

  Like the house's other LBV releases, the 2016 vintage is made from grapes trodden using the traditional method and sourced exclusively from that single harvest. The Port is aged for up to five years in cask before being bottled unfiltered, giving it a more complex, spicier style than a younger Ruby Port.

  2016 brought a mix of early-season rain and warm, dry weather heading into harvest, giving grapes with good balance between sweetness and acidity. Quinta do Noval has made LBV since the 1970s as an accessible expression of the house's Vintage style.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is deep and dark, with ripe plum, a touch of liquorice and a hint of espresso.

  Palate

  The palate is sweet and full-bodied, with cherry, dark chocolate and a warm, generous strength carried well by the acidity.

  Finish

  The finish is long and broad, with a slightly bitter espresso note that rounds off the experience.

  Quinta do Noval Extra Dry White Port Wine Portugal 75 cl 19,5%

  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19728043210

  Port doesn't always have to be dark and sweet. This golden, dry style is made for warm afternoons, ice cubes and a splash of tonic.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval Extra Dry White Port is a Portuguese white, dry Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak vats and bottled at 19.5%.

  The wine is made from white Douro grapes such as Malvasia Fina, Gouveio, Rabigato and Códega, half of which get brief skin contact while the other half ferments without it, giving both aroma and freshness. It's then aged for around three years in oak vats before blending and bottling.

  White Port has existed since the 19th century but has enjoyed a revival in recent years as a fresh aperitif, often served with tonic and ice. Quinta do Noval's Extra Dry style is one of the driest in the category, setting it apart from the sweeter white Ports many people know.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is floral and fruity, with citrus, almond and a light vanilla note.

  Palate

  The palate is crisp and dry, with notes of pear, white peach and a fine, refreshing acidity.

  Finish

  The finish is clean and short, with a final touch of almond.

  Quinta do Noval Fine Ruby Port Portugal 75 cl 19,5%

  Item no.: 22227865464-19934

  Dark berries and fresh fruit sit at the heart of this young Port from one of the Douro's most photographed vineyards. Here it's all about capturing the grape's energy while it's still young.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval Fine Ruby Port is a Portuguese Ruby Port from the Douro Valley, aged in large oak vats and bottled at 19.5%.

  Unlike Tawny, Ruby Port is aged briefly in large, near-airtight vessels, so the wine keeps its deep red colour and fresh berry fruit rather than developing nutty and caramel notes. The blend is composed from several vintages to ensure a consistent, fruit-driven style.

  Quinta do Noval has produced Port on its own land since 1715, but it was only after António José da Silva rebuilt the estate in 1894 that the house's modern reputation as one of the Douro's leading producers truly took shape. Fine Ruby is one of the estate's best-selling bottles and serves as an accessible introduction to the style.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is fresh and fruity with notes of ripe cherry, blackberry and a hint of violet.

  Palate

  The palate is juicy and direct, with blackcurrant and a touch of spice, carried by a pleasant sweetness.

  Finish

  The finish is short to medium, clean and fruity with a final hint of dark chocolate.

  Did You Know?

  Fine Ruby is the type of Port whose grapes were traditionally trodden barefoot in granite lagares to extract colour and tannin as gently as possible — a method several producers, including Quinta do Noval, still use for their finest wines.

  Item no.: 22227865464-2021-10--82

  Four glasses, four styles, one house — this gift box is a shortcut through the world of Quinta do Noval, from dry and fresh to sweet and golden.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval Gift Box is a Portuguese gift set with 4 selected Ports from the Douro Valley, each 37.5 CL and bottled at 19.5%.

  The gift set brings together four smaller bottles that, together, show the breadth of Quinta do Noval's range — from a fresh, young style to a more mature and rounded character. This makes the box ideal for anyone who wants to taste through several styles without opening four full bottles at once.

  Quinta do Noval has produced Port on its own land in the Douro Valley since 1715 and is today one of the most respected names in the trade, not least thanks to the legendary Nacional vineyard. The gift box is designed as an introduction to the house's styles and suits both newcomers and seasoned Port drinkers.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose varies from bottle to bottle, but the set shares fresh fruit, dried nuts and a touch of caramel.

  Palate

  The palate ranges from light and fresh to full and round, depending on which of the four Ports is opened.

  Finish

  The finish differs from style to style, but is consistently clean and well balanced.

  Quinta do Noval Late bottled Vintage 2017 LBV Port wine 75 cl 19,5%

  Item no.: 22227865464-2021-03-005232

  Five years in cask before the bottle is even filled — that's the recipe behind an LBV, giving the power of the grapes time to settle. 2017 was a warm year in the Douro, and it shows in the glass.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval Late Bottled Vintage 2017 is a Portuguese LBV Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 19.5%.

  LBV stands for Late Bottled Vintage and is made on the same principles as a classic Vintage Port — the grapes are trodden traditionally, and only the finest lots from a single year are used. The difference lies in the ageing: while a Vintage Port is bottled after just two years, an LBV matures for up to five years in cask before being bottled, unfiltered.

  2017 was another warm, dry year in the Douro Valley, giving grapes with high ripeness and concentration. Quinta do Noval has made LBV Ports for decades as a way of making the house's Vintage style more accessible without compromising on method.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is intense with dark berries, a touch of liquorice and a mild spiciness.

  Palate

  The palate is full-bodied and complex, with juicy blackberry and blackcurrant, dark chocolate and a hint of mint.

  Finish

  The finish is long and broad, with soft tannins and a warm, spicy close.

  Did You Know?

  Because an LBV is bottled unfiltered, it can develop a light sediment over time — just like a classic Vintage Port — a sign that it's made using the traditional method rather than rushed through production.

  Quinta do Noval LBV Late bottled Vintage 2013 Ruby Port Portugal 75 cl 19,5%

  Item no.: 22227865464-19936

  2015 was one of those years when the Douro truly showed its strength, and the Silval vineyard yielded grapes with both power and elegance. The result is a young, lively Port that's already a pleasure to drink.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval Silval Vintage 2015 is a Portuguese Vintage Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 19.5%.

  Silval is the name of one of Quinta do Noval's own vineyards, separate from the legendary Nacional parcel, whose vines were never touched by phylloxera. The Silval grapes are trodden using the traditional method and made with the same care as the house's other Vintage Ports, but the wine is typically released at a more accessible price and enjoyed younger.

  2015 is recognised as one of the strong Douro vintages of the past decade, with warm, dry weather that gave grapes good concentration and ripeness. Silval Vintage 2015 is therefore an example of a Quinta do Noval wine where both power and finesse are present even at a young age.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is youthful and intense, with ripe dark berries, blackcurrant and a hint of violet.

  Palate

  The palate is full-bodied and well-structured, with juicy blackberry, dark chocolate and firm yet rounded tannins.

  Finish

  The finish is long, spicy and full of dark fruit, with a fine acidity that keeps the wine fresh.

  Investment Potential

  Silval Vintage is a single-vineyard Vintage Port from a recognised year, and this type of bottle is regularly sought after by collectors wanting to follow a producer's development year by year. It is, however, more accessible than Quinta do Noval's absolute top wines and is expected to be enjoyed rather than cellared for decades.

  Did You Know?

  Right next to the Silval vineyard lies the legendary Nacional parcel, planted with ungrafted, phylloxera-resistant vines that Quinta do Noval has never replanted onto rootstock — one of very few places in the world where Port is still made from grapes on their own, original roots.

  Quinta do Noval Tawny Port Portugal 75 cl 19,5%

  Item no.: 22227865464-19930

  For centuries the sun-warmed slopes of the Douro have supplied grapes to Quinta do Noval, where the finest casks are blended into a round, golden Tawny. This bottling is the estate's entry point to the style — approachable, yet full of character.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval Tawny Port is a Portuguese Tawny Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 19.5%.

  The Tawny style is created by maturing the wine oxidatively in smaller oak casks for several years, during which it slowly loses its red hue in favour of golden and amber tones. The winemaker blends several vintages and casks so the result stays consistent from bottle to bottle, year after year.

  Quinta do Noval has stood alone on the north bank of the Douro since 1715 and was rebuilt by António José da Silva in 1894, after phylloxera had devastated the vineyards. Today the estate is one of the most respected in the Douro, known for both its legendary Vintage Ports and more everyday styles such as this one.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose offers dried fig, orange peel and a touch of caramel, lifted by a light nutty note from the cask ageing.

  Palate

  The palate is soft and round, with ripe raisin, burnt sugar and a warm spiciness that keeps sweetness and freshness in balance.

  Finish

  The finish is medium in length with a faintly bitter nutty note that rounds the wine off neatly.

  Specifications

  Name: Quinta do Noval Tawny Port

  Flavour Profile

  Nutty · Caramel · Round · Golden

  Did You Know?

  Unlike Ruby Port, which is aged in large, airtight tanks to preserve its fruit, Tawny is deliberately matured in smaller casks that let in a little air year after year — a slow process that gives the wine its characteristic golden-brown colour.
