The history of Quinta do Noval is marked by the action of visionaries: 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 made its name with the declaration of the 1931 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port, and the 1931 Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port. Because of the global depression and the enormous production and shipment of the 1927 Vintage, most shippers did not declare the 1931. This success established Quinta do Noval among the great names of Vintage Port in the English and American markets, a leading position in terms of reputation which is maintained today.

The weather in 2007 was nicely balanced between rainfall in spring and slightly cool summer nights. It was an exceptional year with very
specific characteristics. In particular, the winter rains were abundant, followed by a relatively mild summer, with beautiful sunny days followed by cool nights, thus providing ideal conditions for optimal ripening of the grapes. Sugars came from the slow ripening of the
grapes. Except for two rainy days towards the end of September, the harvest took place in magnificent sunshine and the grapes were in
perfect condition. Fermentations were slower than usual and easy to control. The first tastings revealed wines marked by elegance, finesse and outstanding balance. Overall the 2007 Ports presented phenomenal balance, richness and grip.
TASTING NOTES
"Quinta do Noval 2007 Colheita reveals a lovely amber colour with a darker tawny core. Very intense and concentrated on the nose, it
presents a harmonious and rich mix of aromas. Spicy and licorice notes come together with toasted almond and younger fruity flavours.
Some citrus notes then appear combined with its minerality and velvety texture giving a very lively wine. This 2007 Colheita is
wonderful and seductive to drink now."
Carlos Agrellos, Technical Director
