Situated just outside Pinhão in the heart of the Douro Valley, this historic single estate produces exceptional, terroir-driven Ports and unfortified wines. Since its acquisition by AXA Millésimes in 1992, Managing Director Christian Seely has spearheaded an ambitious replanting program across its 145-hectare heartland. Vineyard plots were meticulously replanted with single noble varieties tailored to specific schistous soils, cementing Noval’s reputation at the pinnacle of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,1\"\u003eNoval Fine Ruby captures this signature Douro character, crafted from top-tier, Grade 'A' grapes sourced directly from the estate and trusted neighboring growers. The hand-harvested fruit undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation with pump-overs to extract vibrant color and rich berry aromas, followed by fortification with traditional Douro grape spirit. Matured in large oak vats for two to three years, the resulting Port is fresh, intensely fruity, and beautifully balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\" class=\"custom-html-container\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"global-button\" href=\"\/collections\/port-vintage-ruby-lbv\"\u003eBrowse our Port Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Celtic Whiskey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58650935886168,"sku":"600309","price":24.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/noval-fine-ruby-port-whelehans-wines-dublin-wine-cellar.jpg?v=1791296757","url":"https:\/\/whelehanswines.ie\/products\/quinta-do-noval-fine-ruby-port","provider":"Whelehans Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
