Povijest / History
Ime Quinta do Noval prvi put se pojavilo u zemljišnim knjigama 1715. godine. Povijest Quinta do Noval obilježena je djelovanjem vizionara: António José da Silva, lučki brodar iz Porta, kupio je Quinta do Noval 1894. godine, nakon što ga je uništila filoksera. Imanje je obnovio sadnjom vinove loze.
Luiz Vasconcelos Porto, njegov zet, bio je autor opsežnog programa inovacija. Preobrazio je mnoge uske starije terase u šire terase.
To je omogućilo učinkovitije korištenje zemljišta i bolju izloženost suncu. Quinta do Noval stekla je ime proglašenjem 1931.
Quinta do Noval Vintage Port i 1931. Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port.
Zbog globalne depresije i enormne proizvodnje i isporuke Vintagea iz 1927., većina pošiljatelja nije prijavila model iz 1931.
Ovaj uspjeh postavio je Quinta do Noval među velika imena Vintage Porta na engleskom i američkom tržištu, vodeću poziciju u smislu ugled koji se održava i danas.
Od 1993. Quinta do Noval je dio međunarodne vinogradarske grupe AXA Millésimes.
Nova linija za punjenje i skladište dovršeni su 1997. u Aliju, blizu Pinhaoa. Ovaj projekt učinio je Quinta do Noval prvim od tradicionalnih lučkih brodara koji je centralizirao sve svoje aktivnosti u dolini Douro.
U 90-ima je ponovno zasađeno oko stotinu hektara domene, prilagođavajući metode rezidbe kako bi odgovarale svakoj parceli.
Danas imamo visokokvalitetno grožđe koje s jedne strane osigurava izvrsnost Quinta do Noval Ports, a s druge strane proizvodnju vina Douro od berbe 2004. godine.
The name of Quinta do Noval first appeared in land registries in 1715. The history of Quinta do Noval is marked by the action of visionaries: António José da Silva, a port shipper from Porto, acquired Quinta do Noval in 1894, after its devastation by phylloxera.
He restored the property by replanting the vines.
Luiz Vasconcelos Porto, his son-in-law, was the author of a vast programme of innovations. He transformed many of the narrow older terraces into broader terraces. This permitted a more efficient use of the land and a better exposition to the sun.
Quinta do Noval made its name with the declaration of the 1931 Quinta do Noval Vintage Port, and the 1931 Quinta do Noval Nacional Vintage Port.
Because of the global depression and the enormous production and shipment of the 1927 Vintage, most shippers did not declare the 1931.
This success established Quinta do Noval among the great names of Vintage Port in the English and American markets, a leading position in terms of reputation which is maintained today.
Since 1993, Quinta do Noval is part of the international viticultural group of AXA Millésimes.
A new bottling line and warehouse was completed in 1997 in Alijo, near Pinhão. This project made Quinta do Noval the first of the traditional Port shippers to centralise all its activities in the Douro Valley.
In the 90’s, around a hundred hectares of the domaine have been replanted, adapting pruning methods to suit each parcel.
Today, we have high quality grapes which on one hand assure the excellence of Quinta do Noval Ports and on the other hand the production of Douro wines since the 2004 vintage.
