The Nacional parcel is a small area at the heart of the Quinta do Noval vineyard planted with ungrafted vines and untouched by phylloxera. The word “Nacional” refers to the fact that the vines are Portuguese vines growing in Portuguese soil with no foreign root stock.
The 2024 growing season was marked by a sequence of near perfect weather conditions. The 2024 is immensely deep in colour, almost opaque, with a nose of great complexity, showing ripe wild berries, black cherry and plum, together with notes of dark chocolate, liquorice and fine spice. Dense, concentrated and remarkably precise on the palate, it has great depth, pure fruit, broad tannins and a freshness that brings shape and definition. A Nacional of great class, authority and ageing potential.
Only 167 cases of Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port were produced in 2024.
