Quinta do Noval is a name that many port enthusiasts associate with great Vintage Ports and exceptional vineyards. Noval Black deliberately showcases a different side of the house. This Ruby Port is made to be enjoyed young, with juicy dark fruit and an approachable style. You don’t need a special occasion or years of patience to enjoy it: the pleasure begins the moment the bottle is opened.
Quinta do Noval is located near Pinhão, in the heart of the Douro Valley, and has a history dating back to 1715. The estate built its reputation on port from its own vineyards, but a diverse portfolio calls for a variety of styles. Noval Black is a good example of this. While Vintage Port can continue to evolve for many years after bottling, this Ruby emphasizes fresh fruit and immediate drinking pleasure.
That also makes Noval Black an interesting introduction for people who know port primarily as a traditional after-dinner drink. It shows that port doesn’t always have to be formal. A lightly chilled glass on a patio or a simple cocktail with ice can be just as suitable for this style.
Expect aromas of black cherries, plums, and berries, with a subtle spicy note. The flavor is round and fruity, with enough freshness to balance the sweetness. The emphasis is on liveliness, not on the nutty aromas typical of long-aged Tawny.
Serve slightly chilled, neat, or on the rocks. Noval Black pairs well with chocolate, red berries, and casual desserts. Try it in a simple port cocktail with tonic water and a slice of orange—another way to discover the Douro.
