Quinta do Noval Vintage Nacional 2023 Port Wine

Quinta do Noval Vintage Nacional 2023 is a rare and complex wine, crafted from ungrafted vines that have been untouched by phylloxera. This wine exhibits a deep and almost opaque color, with a nose prominently marked by ripe wild fruits such as plum and blackberry, along with notes of dark chocolate and licorice. On the palate, it is dense and focused, featuring broad tannins and an enveloping presence, balanced by acidity that brings freshness and dynamism. The wine has a long, precise, and persistent finish, demonstrating potential to age for decades.

The terroir: a small area at the heart of the Quinta do Noval vineyard planted with ungrafted vines and untouched by phylloxera, described as attached to the soil of the Nation.
Vintage Nacional 1963 is produced using several grape varieties and not just from Touriga Nacional, as it name might suggest. These varieties are some of the noblest to be found in the Douro valley: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão and Sousão
