Quinta do Noval is widely regarded as one of the leading lights in Port, and has always done things a little differently. Situated just outside Pinhao in the heart of the Douro valley, Quinta do Noval is a single estate port shipper with a focus on quality, terroir driven Ports and table wines. Acquired by AXA Millésimes in 1992, the estate undertook an extensive replanting and regeneration programme under the leadership of Christian Seely that has furthered its reputation as one of the top producers in the region.
This LBV Unfiltered presents a deep ruby colour and has an intense and elegant aroma. Great aromatic richness and a mouthful of ripe black fruits and spices. It has fine but solid tannins that gives it a structure of great amplitude and a long and flavourful finish
