Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2019 – modern icon from the Douro

Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2019 is an impressive and deeply concentrated Vintage Port that shows why Quinta do Noval remains one of the world’s greatest Port producers. The 2019 vintage offers a fantastic combination of ripe fruit, freshness and structure, creating a port with both enormous charm in its youth and great ageing potential.

The grapes come from Quinta do Noval’s spectacular terraced vineyards in the Douro Valley, where warm days and cool nights provide optimal conditions for slow ripening and maximum aromatic concentration. The result is a Vintage Port with intense depth, complexity and an impressive balance between power and elegance.

In the glass, the wine appears dark and dense with intense purple reflections. The nose opens with layers of blackcurrant, black cherry, ripe plum and wild berries, followed by notes of violets, dark chocolate, licorice and exotic spices. The palate is full-bodied and silky with great fruit richness, concentrated tannins and a vibrant freshness that lifts the wine and provides a long, harmonious finish.

Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2019 is a Port that already offers a fantastic experience after decanting, but will develop beautifully over several decades. It’s a wine made for collectors, enthusiasts and anyone who wants a great Vintage Port with both classic Douro character and modern precision.

Enjoy it with blue cheese, dark chocolate, rich desserts or on its own as an exclusive meditation glass.
