The Quinta do Noval 40 Year Old Tawny Port is an exceptional aged Tawny Port from Portugal's Douro Valley, blended from wines with an average age of 40 years in seasoned oak casks. Extended maturation has created remarkable complexity while preserving freshness, revealing aromas of dried apricot, orange peel, toasted almond, walnut, caramel and warm baking spices with delicate hints of cedar and vanilla.
On the palate, it is rich and silky with vibrant acidity balancing flavours of dried figs, toffee, honey, roasted nuts and candied citrus. Layers of spice and oak unfold through a long, refined finish, delivering impressive depth without heaviness. The balance between sweetness, freshness and mature complexity is a hallmark of this distinguished Tawny Port.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for customers seeking a mature Tawny Port with exceptional depth and elegance. It pairs beautifully with crème brûlée, pecan pie, roasted nuts, blue cheese or aged hard cheeses. Ready to enjoy now, it will retain its quality for many years when stored correctly, and once opened can be enjoyed over several weeks if kept refrigerated.
