Recognized worldwide for its Ports, Quinta do Noval produces great wines that bear the imprint of their terroir. Having regained possession of its historical place among the major Port Houses, after the tarnishings experienced between the 70s and 80s, there are many reasons why, in different eras, the Quinta do Noval company has been and will not stop to be one of the most pioneering companies in the region. The subtle differences in climates and soils of the different parcels of this expansive estate give Noval's wines a unique complexity and depth, both in the ports and in the red wines and unfortified white wines. Here are some of the characteristics that distinguish it: the adoption of sloping terraces (socalcos the controversial invention of the Late Bottled Vintage typology; the marketing of the first Tawny with the indication on the label of the average aging of the wines that form the blend the gradual move of the entire winery from Vila Nova de Gaia to the heart of the Douro valley, as soon as this became legal, in the year 1986. The Quinta do Noval team is passionately committed to preserving the terroirs of this exceptional estate.
