Quinta do Noval, on the Pinhão valley in the Douro, makes one only in exceptional years, setting aside lots with the structure to reward long ageing. Those lots go into cascos, old casks of around 640 litres, where slow oxidative maturation strips the wine of colour and builds the nutty, dried-fruit character of aged tawny. When the house judges a wine ready, usually after some fifteen years, a portion is bottled and the rest is left in barrel for later releases. The grapes are the traditional Douro field blend of indigenous varieties. This bottling is presented in a gift box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is ready on release and, unlike vintage port, needs no decanting. Serve lightly chilled at around 14°C with walnut tart, crème brûlée or a hard sheep's cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
