No other vintage port attracts more attention than Quinta do Noval’s Nacional and its collectability can be partly attributed to its tiny production. Only 200 - 300 cases are produced in a declared year. This represents a tiny percentage of Quinta do Noval’s production of vintage port (between 1,200 and 5,000 cases in each declared year). Nacional’s two and a half hectares of ungrafted vines are almost indistinguish...
Declared by most houses, 1983 was an exceptional vintage, with outstanding, powerful wines, it was unjustly overshadowed by the 1977s before and the 1985s which followed. Muscular wines with a great capacity for ageing they are often compared to the 1966s.
VINTAGE PORT NACIONAL 1983 –This is probably the best Nacional from the 1980s. Transparent dark-red colour. Classically aged Vintage Port bouquet with malty notes, coffee and some remaining red-berry fruit. Surprisingly intense on the palate with the rather typical minty notes of some older Nacionals. Long and well-structured in the aftertaste. 17+ Now – 2030
