Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port 2017
Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port is one of the world’s most sought-after port wines. The wine is produced only in selected vintages from a small plot of about 2 hectares in Quinta do Noval’s vineyards in the Douro Valley.
What makes Nacional special is that the vines are ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines that still grow on their own roots. These old vines yield very little, but produce grapes with great concentration and complexity.
The 2017 vintage is regarded as a strong vintage in the Douro. The wine appears deep and intense with dark fruit, structure, and a pronounced ageing potential. It combines power and precision with a distinctive elegance that has made Nacional a benchmark among vintage port wines.
Profile
- Aroma: Blackberries, blueberries, and dark forest fruit
- Structure: Medium to full-bodied
- Tannins: Firm, fine, and well-integrated
- Finish: Long and linear with persistent tannin structure
Critic rating
James Suckling on the 2017 vintage:
“This is very primary with lots of blackberries, blueberries, and bark. Medium to full body. Medium tannins and a long, linear finish with tight and very fine tannins that last for minutes. Chewy and balanced. Give this eight to 10 years or after 2030.”
