Noval 40 Year-Old Tawny
A very fine tawny that had been carefully matured in oak barrels. The grapes used in the production of this very fine port were trodden by foot and fermented in the traditional lagares of the Quinta, to obtain the best extraction. Full and smooth, mellow and rich in savours with an appealing “old-wine” aroma and a wonderfully long finish. Certainly one to savour!
