Noble & Murat

Porto fortifieds from Duriense's classic grape varieties.

Noble & Murat produces fortified wines in Porto, the storied region of Northern Portugal's Duriense valley. The winery's Vintage Port, built from Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca, and Touriga Franca, represents the category's traditional expression—structured, age-worthy, and complex. A Late Bottled Vintage Porto, drawn from the same trio of grapes, offers similar depth with slightly earlier drinkability. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator. Porto's steep terraced vineyards and schist soils yield grapes of concentrated character, and Noble & Murat's selections reflect that intensity. The Vintage Port's prestige rating of 92.3 underscores its caliber; the Late Bottled Vintage at 89.0 demonstrates the house's consistency across its portfolio. These are wines built for patience and cellaring, expressions of a region where fortification tradition meets the particular mineral and dark-fruit character of the Douro's indigenous varieties.
