100% estate grown fruit. This wine is made in a traditional manner from predominantly Tinta Roriz, Touriga Francesa and Tinta Barroca. All the grapes are hand picked and foot trodden. This port has a nose reminiscent of dried fruit and almonds which gives it its distinctive character. Elegant, velvety and concentrated on the palate it has a striking, lingering finish. Robert Parker: [The Wine Advocate] 91/100 "My favourite of the three tawnys reviewed in this segment is the 20 Year Old Tawny. It offers an amber color, a spicy, tobacco, cedary, smoky, complex nose, dense, rich flavors that belie the color's aged, feeble look, and an expansive personality. It is a classic example of how delicious and complex a 20 year old tawny port can be...." Jancis Robinson: [www.jancisrobinson.com] "Most port houses make a 20 year-old tawny, a blend of ports that have been aged in oak for at least 20 years, but I found Quinta do Noval's current offering to be particularly convincing. It is more assertive than most and finishes just a bit drier and more positively. This is wine!"
