Quinta do Noval Black Port Wine is a new way of drinking Port Wine, a wine from a new era designed to be used in cocktails, accompanied by dark chocolate or simply drunk chilled. THE BEGINNING OF THE DISCOVERY OF THE WORLD OF NOVAL PORTO WINES. Some of the grapes come from the Quinta do Noval vineyard, the rest come from letter «A-» vineyards located in the heart of the Douro Valley.
Some of the grapes are trodden by foot in the Quinta's traditional stone presses. Another part is crushed mechanically in steel vats. This mechanical crushing process was specially designed for Noval, in accordance with the requirements of our technical team.
Aged for two years in oak casks and steel barrels to preserve its freshness.
Quinta do Noval is distinguished by the beauty of its terraces, the house, warehouse and typical wine presses, which are still in current use. First referenced in 1715, Quinta do Noval was acquired in 1894 by António José da Silva, who developed it over the following three decades. His descendants (recently, the van Zeller family) maintained the farm until 1993, the year it was acquired by AXA. In 1997, Quinta do Noval was a pioneer in centralizing all its activities in the Douro valley, instead of in Vila Nova de Gaia. Quinta do Noval Nacional 1963 was produced in its vineyards and mills, chosen as one of the 12 best wines of the 20th century by the American publication Wine Spectator.
