Description
1955 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port at Arden Fine Wines.
The name of Quinta do Noval first appeared in land registries in 1715.
António José da Silva, a port shipper from Porto, acquired Quinta do Noval in 1894, after its devastation by phylloxera.
He restored the property by replanting the vines.
Luiz Vasconcelos Porto, his son-in-law, was the author of a vast programme of innovations.
He transformed many of the narrow older terraces into broader terraces.
This permitted a more efficient use of the land and a better exposition to the sun.
Quinta do Noval is the only historic Port Shipper to use the name of its vineyard.
Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is made from a strict selection of the best wines from its 192-hectare vineyard.
Declared by 26 shippers, 1955 was the largest declaration since 1927, and is one of the most underrated Vintages of the 20th Century.
A real pleasure to drink now, the best will last well into the 21st Century if well-cellared.
1955 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port is an ideal 70th birthday or anniversary gift.
