“Since I first started at Noval, I have always believed that the Douro had the potential to express itself in an unfortified wine. A dry wine made from the grapes of our vineyard that would express the terroir of Quinta do Noval as the Vintage and old Tawny Ports succeed in doing so well, but of course in a different fashion.' Christian Seely

We began in 1994 a major programme of renovation of the existing vineyard and of new plantations up until 2007.
Today, we can call on top quality grapes, which on the one hand assure the excellence of Quinta do Noval Ports, and on the other the production of Douro wines.
After a successful first trial in 2003, we launched our Douro red wines with the 2004 vintage, the first year we considered worthy to carry the name of Quinta do Noval.
