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.

Making Techniques
Matured for 2 years in oak casks and steel vats to preserve the win's freshness. A part of the grapes is trodden by foot in 'lagares', traditional stone vats from the Quinta. Another is crushed mechanically in steel vats. This mechanical pressing process was designed specifically for Noval, geared to the requirements of our technical team.
