About The Producer
Quinta do Noval, one of the most iconic names in the world of Port wine, has a rich history dating back to 1715 in the heart of Portugal's Douro Valley. Known for its exceptional terroir, Noval was among the first to emphasize the importance of vineyard-specific bottlings, with the legendary Nacional vineyard producing some of the most sought-after Ports in history. Over the centuries, the estate has built a reputation for innovation, being the first to introduce labeled vintage Ports and pioneering new winemaking techniques. Today, Quinta do Noval continues to thrive under the leadership of AXA Millésimes, blending tradition with modernity to produce a range of Ports that balance elegance, complexity, and richness. The estate remains a benchmark for quality, celebrated for its ability to craft wines that stand the test of time.
