Quinta do Noval 50 Year Old Tawny Port – outstanding port wine with half a century of ageing

Quinta do Noval 50 Year Old Tawny Port is a port wine in a class of its own. We are talking about a wine that has spent half a century in oak barrels. The result is a deep, complex and almost meditative wine experience. This is Port for contemplation and for those moments when only the best is good enough.

During aging, much of the wine slowly evaporates from the barrels. This concentrates the flavor and creates an intense and refined style. At the same time, the wine develops a rare purity and elegance. It is precisely this balance between power and finesse that makes this tawny unique.

This wine is made for the experienced Port connoisseur. It’s perfect at the end of a big meal, or as a quiet glass in peace and quiet. Every drop reflects decades of craftsmanship, patience and passion from Quinta do Noval.

Tasting notes

The aroma is deep and complex with notes of dried fruit, figs and raisins. There are also elegant notes of nuts, caramel and spices. The taste is silky and intense with great concentration. It is balanced by a fine acidity that provides freshness. The finish is very long with layers of nuts, wood and sweet spices.
