The 2003 Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port is a legendary expression of Portugal’s winemaking heritage. Crafted exclusively from a tiny, ungrafted parcel of pre-phylloxera vines on the Quinta do Noval estate, this Historic Nacional wine delivers unparalleled purity of terroir. With only a few hundred cases produced in 2003, its rarity and mythical status make it one of the most coveted Ports in the world

The 2003 vintage brought unusual conditions: a wet winter followed by an intensely hot summer, creating grapes with remarkable concentration, depth, and structure . Fermented traditionally through foot-treading in granite lagares and aged for 18–20 months in large oak and chestnut vats, this Port strikes a rare balance—rich, profound tannins seamlessly intertwined with vibrant acidity, creating both power and grace


Critically acclaimed - with 100 points from Jancis Robinson and Richard Mayson—reviews celebrate its “super-concentrated” core of dark plum, blackberry, violet, and mint, “sauve and silky” texture, and a “massive presence in the mouth”


With an estimated drinking window extending into the 2050s, this is a Port built for the ages

Serve it at cellar temperature (15–17 °C) to fully unveil its haunting floral and dark-fruit perfume. Whether added to a serious collection or savoured for a momentous occasion, the 2003 Nacional is a rare confluence of power, finesse, and storied pedigree—an unrivalled experience in the world of fine Port.
