The name Quinta do Noval first appeared in records from 1715. The history of Quinta do Noval is marked by the actions of António José da Silva, a visionary and port operator, who acquired Quinta do Noval in 1894, after it was devastated by phylloxera.
This Touriga Nacional has a deep colour, intense fruity aromas and flavours of ripe wild berries. Fine notes of wood combined with spices and dark chocolate. On the palate it is concentrated, with expressive fruity notes and plenty of freshness. The finish is long and complex, with tannins that balance the wine well.
Although delicious to drink now, this wine has excellent cellaring potential. It is the result of a strict selection of the best batches produced by Quinta do Noval in a given year.
