History: Quinta do Noval is located in the Douro Valley, in Northern Portugal, where Port wine has been produced since 1715. Among the great traditional Port wine houses, Noval is unique for the emphasis it places on its vineyard. It is worth noting that it is this same vineyard located in the Douro Valley that gives the company its name, and that its main Vintage Port wines, Quinta do Noval Nacional and Quinta do Noval, are "Vintage de Quinta". The objective is to produce great classic Vintage Ports that are, in addition, harmonious and elegant expressions of the Quinta do Noval terroir. At Noval, the vineyard is at the heart of everything we do.
