En primeur offer: Port 2024

Widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest wines, Nacional comes from just 1.6 hectares of ungrafted vines planted in 1926 at the heart of Quinta do Noval. Produced from a tiny field blend of more than 30 varieties and harvested in a single morning, it has a singular character. The nose is effortlessly classy, with dark fruit, spice and striking purity, while the palate combines silky texture, vibrant freshness and impressive structure. Powerful yet seemingly weightless, this is a wine of extraordinary finesse, precision and longevity. This wine comes in an original wooden case. Drink from 2031 to 2095. 19.5%

This wine comes repackaged into a Wine Society cardboard case. Drink from 2027 to 2065. 19.5%

Another one of a handful of single quinta Ports in this offer, Noval’s is a beautifully complete Vintage Port that sits somewhere between the silkiness of the Symington wines and the angular structure of the Fladgate style. Plum, violet and dark chocolate notes lead into a palate that is firm, fresh and impressively composed. There is real concentration here, but also finesse, with polished tannins and a lovely mineral edge carrying the wine to a long, classy finish. This wine comes in an original wooden case. Drink from 2027 to 2065. 19.5%
