Quinta do Noval 2024 Vintage Port
A Refined and Harmonious Vintage from One of the Douro’s Great Estates

Quinta do Noval has announced the release of its 2024 Vintage Port, a wine that beautifully captures the estate’s celebrated style of purity, finesse, and precision. Produced from a rigorous selection representing just a small proportion of the Quinta’s total production, the 2024 vintage combines remarkable concentration with elegance, balance, and exceptional aromatic clarity.

Deep purple-black in colour, the nose is refined and expressive, revealing layers of black cherry, wild berries, cassis, and violets intertwined with notes of rockrose, redcurrant, cocoa, and subtle spice. Delicate floral and mineral nuances emerge beneath the vibrant fruit profile, giving the wine remarkable freshness and complexity.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated, and beautifully structured, with firm yet polished tannins supporting dense layers of black and red fruit. Bright acidity and crystalline purity bring precision and harmony to the wine’s powerful core, while a distinctive mineral freshness lifts the palate and carries through to a long, elegant, and persistent finish. Subtle hints of dried flowers and spice emerge gradually, highlighting the wine’s refinement and outstanding ageing potential.

The 2024 growing season delivered near-perfect conditions, with generous winter rainfall, mild summer temperatures, and cool nights during August and September allowing the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. Touriga Nacional and Touriga Francesa excelled particularly well, contributing exceptional aromatic complexity, colour, and structure to the final blend. Traditional foot treading in the estate’s granite lagares further enhanced the wine’s texture, extraction, and depth.
