Product Information
Quinta do Noval Colheita Port 2009 This aged Tawny Port is produced from a single vintage from the Quinta, matured in cask for at least seven years and bottled on demand. It combines finesse and elegance with creamy, nutty characteristics and like Vintage Port will take on the style of the harvest year.
Increasingly rare, these wines are the supreme expression of the old Tawny Ports. Quinta do Noval Colheita 2009 is an old Tawny produced from a single harvest, made from grapes exclusively grown in Quinta do Noval's own vineyards, in the heart of the Douro valley. Matured in oak barrels since the harvest until its bottling, it combines finesse and elegance with creamy and nutty characteristics.
Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week

Tasting notes
The Colheita 2009 has a complex nose that combines nuttiness with elegant fruit. It has a silky texture with a soft tannic backbone. Some exotic flavours and caramel on the palate provide a lingering finish. This excelent Colheita Port offers a full, sweet, rich and smooth taste that lingers for a long time.
