A small area at the heart of the Quinta do Noval vineyard planted with ungrafted vines & untouched by phylloxera. The word Nacional refers to the fact that the vines are Portuguese vines growing in Portuguese soil with no foreign root stock, & are therefore attached to the soil of the Nation. This great wine is a source of pride to the people of Portugal, & at its best the finest expression of the extraordinary terroir of Quinta do Noval.
The Nacional is a unique & extraordinary phenomenon. It does not necessarily follow the same rhythm as the rest of the Quinta do Noval. In some years a great Nacional is produced when Noval does not even declare the Quinta do Noval Vintage. In others, Quinta do Noval makes a great Vintage Port, & the Nacional does not perform.
