Description: Porto Ferreira Late Bottled Vintage (or LBV) is a high-quality Port Wine that combines the unique characteristics of the year it is produced with the convenience of being able to be enjoyed immediately or after some aging in the bottle, depending on preference. LBV Port Wines are from a single harvest, bottled in the 4th year after the vintage.

After the harvest, the wine remains in the Douro. It is transported to Vila Nova de Gaia the following spring, entering the usual aging process in oak casks. During this period, it is frequently racked, analyzed, and tried to monitor its evolution. The final blend is made after selecting wines that, due to their characteristics, reach the level of the Ferreira LBV style

Tasting Note:
Deep ruby colour. Intense and complex aroma, with notes of red fruits, black fruits, shrubbery, and balsamic hints of cedar and resin. On the palate, it has good volume, lively tannins, balanced acidity, red fruits, and spices, with a very long and balanced finish.
