Noval Vintage 2012

Noval Vintage 2012

I had the pleasure of the taste and found wonderful.


                   Noval Vintage 2012

Made from 100% estate fruit Quinta do Noval may literally be a Single Quinta Vintage Port but, first and foremost, it’s regarded as a classic Vintage Port. That is to say, a long haul traveller capable of lasting 30 years plus. Still, within the Vintage Port category, it’s not uncommon for it (or its famous older sibling Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port) to be released in years which are not generally declared (like 1931, for example).
