The Fine Ruby Port from Quinta do Noval is a darker and fruitier type of port wine. It has a lively fruit with a fine pepper note in the bouquet. An easy-to-drink port wine that many people enjoy.
This Ruby Port is fermented in a steel tank and then stored for around three years in large wooden barrels, the so-called Tonéis. The final composition of the individual batches is then made, the aim being to find a taste profile for the different batches that is as typical of Noval as possible and consistent. It consists of the classic grape varieties of the Douro Valley such as Tinta Roriz, Touriga Francesa and Tinta Barroca.
The Quinta do Noval Fine Ruby Port has a ruby red color. Its scent is present, dominated by youthful fruit, and you can find aromas such as cherries and black pepper. It is perfectly balanced on the palate, and the beautiful fruit of the wine is in the foreground here too. You can also enjoy this port slightly chilled in summer, for example as an aperitif, or serve it at around 18° with a dessert such as fruit cake.
