The ideal digestive for the season, this tawny port from the 2000 vintage was aged in oak casks from its birth to its bottling in 2013. The famous Quinta do Noval estate, founded back in 1715, was acquired in 1993 by AXA Millésimes, the wine branch of the French insurance company of the same name. Masterfully managed by Christian Seely, the 70-hectare estate enjoyed a complete facelift, now focussing on the Touriga Nacional and Tinto Cão varietals, which create ports and still wines of great caliber.
