Quinta do Noval Vintage 2014
Descrição

Vintage Quinta do Noval is characterized by its purity of fruit and a fine and delicate quality, which is typical of the property's wines in general, but which finds its most notable and lasting expression in the Vintage Ports. Balance, harmony, finesse and elegance characterize our Vintage Ports, which are only declared in years that allowed the production of wines of exceptional quality. Even so, the wines selected for Quinta do Noval Vintage Port represent only a very small part of our total production.


HARVEST CONDITIONS IN 2014
The heavy rainfall that we had in 2013/2014, well distributed throughout the year, the mild temperatures in winter and a cool month of August, helped the vineyard to
maintain a good cover, full of leaves throughout the entire vegetative cycle, which protected the grapes from the excessive heat peaks of the summer sun, allowing a good
conservation of curls. At the end of August, the entire harvest was truly in excellent condition, with perfect, healthy grapes with an excellent acidity/sugar balance, ideal for the production of Port wine. Production was average compared to recent years.


TEST RESULTS
Deep ruby-purple color, with a spicy and wild aroma, smooth and velvety black fruits, and excellent freshness and balance. Great elegance and great concentration. Full-bodied and fleshy, with a firm structure of soft tannins and a long finish. Very seductive and perfectly delicious now, it will clearly benefit from decades of bottle aging, revealing its full potential over time.

VINIFICATION
The grapes are trodden by foot in the presses to obtain the must, and then macerated during fermentation to obtain the best possible extraction.
