Porto Da Silva White: elegant and fresh, with exotic fruit.
Tasting note
Elegant and fresh, with aromas of exotic fruit and a soft, fruity finish.
The story
Da Silva is a Quinta do Noval brand, named after António José da Silva, the Port shipper who bought the estate in 1894.
Fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by three years in large oak vats.
Food pairing
Ideal with a starter or a cold platter, also with blue cheeses and fish dishes, especially lobster.
The producer
Quinta do Noval appears in the land registry as early as 1715 and lies in the Pinhão valley, in the heart of the Douro. In 1894 the Port shipper António José da Silva bought the estate, and his family ran it for almost a century. In 1993 Noval passed to AXA Millésimes, with Christian Seely at the helm, who had most of the vineyards replanted.
Noval’s most famous asset is Nacional: a small plot of ungrafted vines, never touched by phylloxera, right by the house. It yields a Vintage Port only in exceptional years, in tiny quantities. At Noval the grapes are still foot-trodden in stone lagares.
