Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port 2020 – Rare top vintage with monumental structure and finesse

Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port 2020 is the epitome of exclusivity and world-class craftsmanship. This legendary port is made only in the best years and in extremely limited quantities from the iconic Nacional parcel in the heart of the Douro Valley. For wine lovers and collectors, this is a wine that is not just enjoyed – it is experienced and saved.

The uniqueness of Nacional lies in the old, ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines still standing on their own roots – a rarity in the wine world. These vines deliver very low yields, but incredible concentration, depth and authenticity that give the wine its unique character.

Vintage 2020 is an intense and structured vintage with an impressive balance between power and elegance. The wine is dense and focused with a distinctive tannic structure and a vibrant freshness that promises an exceptionally long life in the cellar. It is a wine made for patience – and to be opened on very special occasions.

Tasting notes

The nose offers deep aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and dark cherry, combined with floral notes and fine spices. On the palate, the wine is powerful and concentrated with firm, silky tannins that provide structure and elegance. The finish is long, persistent and characterized by a beautiful minerality and a fresh, precise finish.

Serving & storage

Serve at 16-18°C and should be decanted before serving to unfold the wine’s full potential. The Quinta do Noval Nacional 2020 has enormous ageing potential and will evolve over several decades. It is expected to be at its best from around 2035-2040 onwards, when its complexity really comes to the fore.
