QUINTA DO NOVAL NOVAL BLACK RESERVE
O ne of the oldest Port houses, Quinta do Noval is also arguably the greatest. Noval is mentioned in land registries going back to 1715, and has been sold just twice in that time, once in the late 19th century, and to its present owners in 1993. Since then, this Port house has maintained its reputation for being an innovative, independent producer of some of the most sought-after wines in the region. Noval BLACK Reserve is a clear expression of the Noval style, no ageing and no decanting necessary. No complications, just a great glass of Port. The style of Noval BLACK Reserve is entirely about emphasizing the quality of this fruit, through use of estate fruit, gentle handling (including foot treading), and vinification aiming for transparency. You could say it is the most wine-like of ruby reserve ports, and that is the secret to its flexibility, in cocktails, chilled, and even on ice.
“At the level of many of the region’s best LBVs, this wine may become a staple for a new generation of Port drinkers.” - WINE & SPIRITS MAGAZINE
