Quinta do Noval benefits from a privileged location in the heart of the Douro Valley.
The 145-hectare vineyard, fully classified as an A-grade property, is planted with the noblest grape varieties of the Douro region: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão, and Sousão.
The vineyard plots have a rich geographical diversity.
altitude: from 100m to 500m
Exposure: to all cardinal points
Soil: shale with clay fragments, of variable mixture.
These characteristics give the wines different nuances depending on their origin. From the fusion of these nuances is born the magic of Quinta do Noval wines.
Currently, vineyards are replanted with a single variety adapted to each individual plot according to three main factors: altitude, exposure, and the type of vineyard planting.
The magnificent old schist stone terraces continue to be the defining feature of Quinta do Noval.
Quinta do Noval is the only historical exporter of Port wine that bears the name of its estate, and which produces Vintage Port from a single plot, when declared.
