Noval Vintage 2012

I had the pleasure of the taste and found wonderful.


                   Noval Vintage 2012

Made from 100% estate fruit Quinta do Noval may literally be a Single Quinta Vintage Port but, first and foremost, it’s regarded as a classic Vintage Port. That is to say, a long haul traveller capable of lasting 30 years plus. Still, within the Vintage Port category, it’s not uncommon for it (or its famous older sibling Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port) to be released in years which are not generally declared (like 1931, for example).

Casa Ferreirinha "Planalto Reserva" White Wine

Region: DOP Douro

Castes: Viosinho, Malvasia Fina, Gouveio and Códega

Year: 2012

Winemaker: Luis Sottomayor

Producer: Sogrape Vinhos de Portugal, SA

Tasting notes: Bright hue with greenish hints and a finely intense and complex bouquet, with a prevalence of white fruits (melon and pear), tropical fruits (apricot and passionfruit) and slight mineral notes. On the palate, it shows great harmony and fine balanced acidity, with mineral and citrus flavours again in evidence. It has a long and delicate finish.
