Quinta do Noval Ports: Douro, Portugal
10 Year Old Tawny
The 10 Year Old Tawny port shows intensity of color, complexity, concentration, and depth of flavor. Tinta Roriz, Touriga Francesca and Tinta Barroca predominate among the traditional grape varieties. 50% of the grapes come from the estate (a large part of these now coming from the replantings at Noval in the mid nineties) and 50% from traditional suppliers of “A” category grapes. 100% of grapes are trodden by foot in lagares, and the wine is aged in oak barrels of 640 liters until bottled. A favorite of restaurateurs because it remains fresh for weeks after opening, the Noval Tawny Port has beautiful complexity with vibrant young fruit that blends with the attractive and characteristic dry fruit and nut aromas. It is rich and smooth on the palate, with an elegant structure and long finish.
“Full-bodied and very sweet, with plenty of toffee and dried fruit character on the finish. Really yummy.” 90 Wine Spectator
