About
Quinta do Noval is a prestigious and historic wine estate located near Vale de Mendiz north of Pinhão.
It is renowned for producing exceptional Port wines in particular its Vintage Ports, which are highly regarded for their complexity, elegance, and ability to age gracefully.
In the mid 1980, under the ownership of Van Zeller family, Quinta do Noval started producing age-worthy dry red wines and later dry white wines.
In 1993, Quinta do Noval became a part of AXA Millésimes, an international viticultural group, a subsidiary of the French insurance company. Subsequent developments included the completion of a new bottling line and warehouse in Alijo, near Pinhão, in 1997. This pioneering project made Quinta do Noval the first traditional Port shipper to centralize all of its activities in the Douro Valley.
