Launched in October 2024, Quinta do Noval’s 50 Year Old Tawny Port joins a small list of wines from producers taking up the new category, which was formally introduced in January 2022.
This Tawny is a blend of Ports with an average age of 50 years, matured exclusively in seasoned oak casks with a capacity of 640 liters.
This extraordinary wine was crafted from estate-grown fruit grown in the Vale de Mendiz. It is a traditional multi-varietal field blend of Touriga Nacional, Sousão, Tinta Roriz, and Touriga Francesa, among others. After decades of aging in oak barrels, during which time a very high proportion will have evaporated, this remarkable wine has acquired a complex intensity of flavours and austere purity that take Noval Tawny Port to an even higher level.
This old Tawny displays a deep golden-amber-green hue with rich mahogany highlights. The bouquet is exceptionally refined, revealing complex aromas of dried fruits, roasted almonds, and subtle hints of spice, which underscore its distinguished character.
On the palate, it is incredibly velvety and concentrated, with layers of flavour that reflect its age and maturity. The wine concludes with a long, sophisticated finish that lingers gracefully, showcasing its remarkable structure and finesse.
