WINE DESCRIPTION

Quinta do Noval 20 Year Old Tawny Port is a premium fortified wine produced by the renowned Portuguese winery, Quinta do Noval. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its steep terraced vineyards and unique microclimate. The winemakers at Quinta do Noval use traditional methods to create this tawny port, aging it for 20 years in oak barrels to develop its complex flavors and aromas. The result is a rich and smooth wine with notes of caramel, nuts, and dried fruit, perfect for sipping on its own or pairing with desserts and cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Quinta do Noval 20 Year Old Tawny Port is a delightfully smooth and delightful treat.With an inviting nose of roasted hazelnuts, toffee and dried fruits, it is a complex and flavorful wine. On the palate, notes of dried figs, raisins, caramel and butterscotch mingle with a hint of spice and a light nuttiness. The finish is long and lingering, with a touch of sweetness that lingers on the tongue. A truly magnificent tawny port that is sure to please any port lover.

ORIGINS

Winery: Quinta do Noval

Region: Douro

The Douro Valley in Portugal is one of the oldest and most iconic wine regions in the world. Located in the north of the country, the region is renowned for its stunning scenery and its production of world-class fortified wines. The Douro Valley was first demarcated in 1756 and originally applied only to port production. It was extended to include table wine in 1979, with the first glimmer of the region’s potential for non-fortified still red wines appearing when port shippers Casa Ferreirinha launched Barca Velha in 1952. The focus on table wines did not take hold until the 1990’s, following Portugal’s accession to the EU.
