Quinta do Noval Colheita is a rare Port, produced in small quantities. It is a dated Tawny Port. Each Colheita takes its personality from the Quinta do Noval terroir and from the vintage, like our Vintage Port, but aged in barrels, until bottling.
In exceptional years, certain lots of wine with great ageing potential are set aside to be aged in casks to become a Colheita, a dated Tawny Port. When we feel the wine is ready, usually after about 15 years, we will bottle some of this wine and offer it for sale. This 2009 Colheita was first bottled in 2022. The rest of our stocks of Colheita 2009 will continue to age in barrels for further bottlings in the future, when we consider the time to be right.
In 2009, we had a wet and cold winter at Noval, springtime with little rain and a very dry summer with temperatures lower than average, except for the months of June and September (+7,4ºC). These factors had a direct influence on the heat, to which the leaves and the grapes were exposed, decreasing evapotranspiration, which resulted in a longer active period of the vines during the day. Consequently, the vines preserved their leaves throughout the whole growing cycle and an efficient distribution of water to the plant was achieved. Mild temperatures and low rainfall favoured the flowering in the end of May. The ripening was early and even until mid-August, exploding after that, due to high temperatures and very dry weather. At harvest, the grapes were in excellent health and perfectly ripe - the results were exceptional wines with opulent richness, concentration and extremely elegant.
