Terroir
Some of the grapes come from the Quinta do Noval vineyard, the rest from A-rated vineyards at the heart of the Douro valley.
Blend
Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão and Sousão predominate among the traditional grape varieties of the Demarcated Region of the Douro Valley.
Winemaking
50% of the grapes were trodden by foot and fermented in the traditional "lagares" of the Quinta. The other 50% were vinified by pumping over in stainless steel vats with temperature controlled at 24°C.
Ageing
Noval Black Reserve is a blend of wines with an average of 2 to 3 years, aged in wooden and stainless steel vats to preserve its freshness.
Serving
7-8°C
