Noval Black

75cl

Noval Black is a new way to drink Port! For this unique Port, all grapes harvested are crushed by foot in granite lagares and crushing is done in small lots for better control and to pinpoint quality. This effort allows Quinta do Noval to create a port wine that wholly emphasizes fruit with a focus on tremendous aromatics, beautiful balance, and transparent complexity. A very fine all around new-age port destined to be enjoyed with chocolate or simply drunk chilled, used also as a cocktail ingredient.
