We are delighted to welcome back the charismatic Christian Seely, Managing Director of AXA Estates,
whose enviable portfolio includes not only Cru Classé Claret estates but the totemic Quinta do Noval,
one of the most impressive and scenic of all the properties which decorate the magnificent terraced
banks of the River Douro. Famed for their aged Tawny production in addition to the Late Bottled
Vintage styles, both of which are firm favourites in the Berrys’ canon, Noval are perhaps best known
for their vintage wines. One in particular, a minute plot the vines of which pre-date phylloxera, stands
out, almost literally, from all the others. With an annual production of around 1000 bottles, Quinta do
Noval Nacional is one of the rarest and greatest of all Ports and it was therefore a source of
enormous excitement to us when Christian announced his intention to bring along several examples
of this iconic wine. He has not yet revealed which they are to be, although the fact that he has
promised to bring bottles from not only the 1990s but also the 1960s and the 1970s should prove
enticement enough for this benchmark tasting.
