Description
Mr Whirly says:
” LBV present you with great value when it comes to Port & this wine emphasises that point.”
An independent family house, founded in 1964 situated in the Douro valley. This Late bottled vintage Port throws a sediment as it has been age in the bottle. It is therefore essential to decant this wine.
Grapes: Touriga Nacional 60%, Touriga Franca 20%, Tinta Roriz 15% and Tinto Amarela 5%
Winemakers tasting notes:
Winemaking process: Grapes were picked with 14º alcohol graduation. The fermentation occurs in granite treading tanks (lagares) with capacity of 6000kg and 5000 kg. The fermentation was during 3 days , using traditional treading by foot. The temperature was 25ºC. The fermentation was interrupted by the addition of grape spirit (brandy) – giving the wine its 19% alcohol by volume and Baumé 3º. Six months in stainless steel tanks, afterwards transferred into wooden (Portuguese oak) casks for three years and then bottled without filtration.
Tasting notes: Very dark colour. Tastes of mature fruits such as red currant and plums. Here we feel the aroma of the variety Touriga Nacional. In the mouth, very fruity but also star to appear some complexity.
