Product details
The Quinta do Noval Fifty-Year-Old Tawny Port is crafted using a traditional multivarietal field blend, a hallmark of the Douro Valley. This method involves growing several grape varieties together in the same vineyard, which are harvested and vinified as a single batch. Key varieties in this blend include Touriga Nacional, Sousão, Tinta Roriz and Touriga Francesa, among others, each contributing distinct characteristics. This approach enhances the complexity and balance of the wine, with each grape adding unique aromas, flavours, and structure. The result is a harmonious blend that evolves beautifully over decades of ageing. The vinification with foot treading in our stone lagares is crucial for making Port wine because it ensures gentle yet thorough extraction of colour, tannins, and flavours from the grapes. This traditional method allows for even maceration during fermentation, preserving the wine's structure and enhancing its complexity and balance. This Tawny is a blend of Ports with an average age of 50 years, matured exclusively in seasoned oak casks with a capacity of 640 liters.
