Fazenda do Noval Vintage Nacional 1996 with packaging

Noval Nacional's prestige is partly attributed to its small production – only 200-300 cases are produced in the declared years (this represents only a small percentage of the entire production of Port wine at Quinta do Noval – between 1,200 and 5,000 cases each year declared). Most of the Nacional varieties are recognized as the best for Port wines: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinto Cão and Sousão. Due to the small production, Nacional is always sold in very small quantities. Once on the open market, Nacional is sold for extremely high prices, reflecting the exceptional quality and rarity of this Port which has the highest interest on the part of collectors.
