Quinta do Noval Porto 20 Year Old Tawny NV
Vintage Character
Quinta do Noval 20 Year Old Tawny Port is a masterful expression of aged tawny, crafted from a blend of wines matured in seasoned oak casks for an average of two decades. Drawing on the Douro Valley’s dramatic climate—marked by hot, dry summers and cold winters—this non-vintage Port achieves remarkable complexity and depth.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The result is a radiant amber wine with an alluring bouquet of dried apricot, toasted almond, caramelized orange peel, and delicate baking spices. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious interplay of richness and freshness, with silky textures and flavors of toffee, fig, honey, and a hint of cocoa, all leading to a lingering, nutty finish of great refinement. The schistous soils and steep terraced vineyards of the Douro impart vibrancy and structure, while extended oxidative aging enhances its layered character. This 20 Year Old Tawny is a luxurious partner for aged cheeses such as Comté, or classic Western desserts like pecan tart and crème brûlée, making it an elegant finale to any meal.
Winery Background
Founded in 1715, Quinta do Noval is one of the Douro Valley’s most historic and innovative estates, celebrated for its dedication to quality and its unique approach of managing its own vineyards—a rarity among Port producers. The estate cultivates traditional Douro grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz, on steep, schist-rich terraces that define the region’s landscape. Noval’s philosophy emphasizes low yields, rigorous grape selection, and sustainable vineyard practices, ensuring that each wine authentically reflects its exceptional terroir. The 20 Year Old Tawny stands as a testament to Noval’s commitment to combining heritage with precision, offering a Port of exceptional balance, complexity, and enduring character.
