Quinta Do Noval LBV Single Vineyard Port 2018

PRODUCER NOTES:

TASTING: “This 2018 wine presents a very dark colour and a remarkable aromatic intensity, with hints of wild berries and spices. Smooth on the palate, it possesses a strong structure with good volume and hints of well-integrated oak notes. It's a robust wine that combines freshness and pure fruit, resulting in a very long finish. (Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão; 19.5% ABV; 90g/L RS) ”

OVERVIEW: “This wine is a remarkable example of the Noval style. Treated exactly like a Vintage Port with only noble grape varieties that sourced exclusively from estate vineyards, trodden by foot and unfiltered. This expression differs in its extended aging, seeing five years in casks instead of the typical two years for Vintage Ports. Definitely an LBV with a difference, this wine has fine structured tannins, great freshness and purity of fruit. It is delicious to drink today, but will age beautifully in its bottle.”

SOURCE: “All the grapes come from the Quinta do Noval vineyard, in Pinhão - the heart of the Douro valley.”
