Made with wines from ten different parcels, it shows a deep colour and a refined, expressive nose of black cherry, wild berries and violets, with notes of rockrose, redcurrant, subtle spice and a hint of cocoa. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with firm yet polished tannins, balanced acidity and remarkable purity of fruit. The finish is long, persistent and elegant, revealing great depth, delicate hints of dried flowers and clear ageing potential.

The 2024 growing season was marked by a sequence of near perfect weather conditions. August and September, with their sunny days and cool nights, enabled the grapes to reach optimal ripeness. This year, the Touriga Nacional and Touriga Francesa varieties clearly emerged as the stars of the vintage.


Quinta do Noval Vintage Port 2024

Reviews

"Concentrated and intense, with notable purity and energy. With vivid aromatics of fresh blackberries, violets and a stony touch. Full-bodied yet approachable and harmonious, very composed, with a clear sense of direction. Tension and depth are carried by focused, yet marked, integrated tannins that bring definition and detail. 40% Touriga Nacional, 17% Touriga Francesa, 10% Sousão, 3% Tinta Roriz, and 30% Field Blend."

"Black core with narrow purple rim. Pure fruit bomb of black and blue fruit with a sort of biscuity sweetness. That initial impression gives way to a darker and more brooding layer, more dusty/rocky Douro. Immense power and elegance combined. Essence of vintage port. The tannins are dense yet so fine, they glide. Perfect balance."

"The 2024 Vintage Port represents just 7.64% of the production this year. Picked from ten parcels between September 4 and October 11, with two spells of showers in between, it is foot-trodden and vinified in granite lagares and matured for 18 months in oak cask at the Quinta. This is definitely more intense than the Passadour '24, with upfront scents of plum jam, pressed violets, almost giving it a souped-up Margaux-like allure, clove and dark chocolate. Wonderful delineation. The palate is sweet, playful on the entry. There is just the right density to this Noval, just a little granular in texture, an underlying sour cherry element that imparts tension. Finely chiselled tannins, this Vintage Port had beguiling symmetry, with a sustained finish featuring black pepper and clove. What a gorgeous Noval this is going to be."
