A total of 27,360 bottles were produced in the 2023 vintage, corresponding to only 7.4% of the total wine production at Quinta do Noval, which attests to the rigorous selection process this wine undergoes.

Vinification: Traditional vinification in the estate's granite vats, with foot treading to obtain the must and the best possible extraction of aromas, color, and tannins during fermentation. As usual, we carry out a rigorous selection of the best batches of wines from different plots of the estate. This year's batch is composed of ten different batches from the Pinhão valley and two from the Roncão valley.

The wine ages for 18 months in casks in the estate's climate-controlled warehouses in the Douro demarcated region before being bottled.
