Quinta do Noval is known for producing Vintage Ports that combine depth with refinement, and the 2016 release demonstrates this balance with clarity. Sourced from estate vineyards in the Douro Valley, the wine expresses both site and vintage with precision.
Tasting Notes
The nose reveals aromas of blackberry, cassis, violet, and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is structured and layered, delivering concentrated black fruit supported by firm tannins and balanced sweetness. Notes of spice, licorice, and subtle mineral tones emerge through a long, focused finish that continues to develop with time.

The 2016 growing season provided optimal conditions for concentration and balance.
