NEW IN STORE - The renaissance of the prestigious Noble & Murat brand comes with its new port wines

Noble & Murat was a pioneer company in the Port wine trade  that marked the history of Port Wine during the 19th century. Noble & Murat's winery is located at Quinta do Bragão, on the edge of Celeirós do Douro, in the Pinhão Valley. A winery with a typical atmosphere and the rare charm that is one of the expressions of the traditional Douro wineries. This firm produces Port wines from 6 vineyards, 3 of which are owned by the firm's partners, with privileged and diverse locations in the Pinhão and Tedo valley with an intense field work under constant monitoring and control.
 
The choice of the right vineyards, the careful selection of the grapes and the precision of the individualized vinification processes are characteristics that identify and define this Port wine House. The winemaking and production processes are traditional and entirely manual, understood and assumed as the method that most respects the grapes and the terroir. There is a clear commitment to the production of premium quality Port wines, natural, authentic, artifice-free wines with identity and character, serious Port wines, the consistency of which the future will surely ensure.
 
The grapes are vinified separately, with the exclusive use of foot-trodden, in small lagares with schist and granite, with a high ratio of man to barrel in the lagar, which has a huge influence on wine. Grapes are destemmed, which involves more work, but is a decisive method for the final quality and character of these wines. Another specificities of this process is the quality of the press, with the use of an old stainless steel lined press. The producers afirm that a good pressing will give the necessary extraction and body. One of the secrets of the house is the wine fortification procedure, in order to achieve a better integration and homogenization of the brandy with the wine, to achieve a better preservation of the aromas and structure of the Port wine.
 
The 2012 Late Bottled Vintage port, with 91 points in Robert Parker, has a traditional style, is unfiltered and is more structured and full-bodied. It is literally a late bottled vintage. At the exit of the wine press a sorting is done and the fate of the wine is determined at that moment. In those years when vintage is not produced, the wine is practically all destined for the house's LBV.
 
The vintage Port wines are wines of exceptional quality, produced in very small quantities, with the best grapes from a single vintage, in a year of perfect conditions and that is the supreme expression of Port wine.
 
The 2015 Vintage Port is aromatically complex and deep which highlights the fruit and minerality. On the palate it has great complexity, texture and a taste of very ripe fruit. This set is very well linked to a drier and fresher profile combined with a good acidity. An excellent choice for those who prefer a fresher, less sweet but more acidic Vintage port.
 
The 2016 Vintage Port wine has as its main notes a lush nose, with floral aromas and also with the character of red and black fruit, with an excellent structure, good acidity and a semi-dry finish. It is a more elegant and aromatic vintage port.
 
We can say that the Douro is in the soul of this house and is reflected in the Port wines it produces. A project closely linked to the Douro wine roots. Enjoy your time with your loved ones by tasting a Noble & Murat glass of wine.
