WHO CAN CONTRACT
The name Quinta do Noval first appeared in land registers in the year 1715. Since 1994, Quinta do Noval has replanted 100 hectares of the property with the noble grape varieties of the Douro, adapting plantation and pruning methods according to the needs of each parcel.
Each plot has been planted with individual grape varieties suited to the terroir according to three principal criteria: altitude, exposition, and the type of planting required. Today the field blends, parcels with several mixed varieties, are progressively disappearing from the Douro Valley. Noval was a pioneer of this trend, and the first vineyard to replant and mechanise the old terraces on a large scale while retaining the magnificent stone walled terraces.
