Quinta de la Rosa LBV Port
The Late Bottled Vintage is an extremely high-quality port made from some of the best wines from 2018. The traditional port varieties tend to be sourced parcels nearer the river with older vines and greater sun exposure. The LBV was foot trodden in granite lagares in the traditional manner before aging in large oak ‘tonels’ for 4 years, in which time it naturally sediments before bottling. It’s dense and structured but with wonderful fruit and vibrant tannins.
Grapes – Touriga Nacional, Sousão, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Touriga Franca
Region – Duoro Valley
Producer Profile
In 1988, Tim and his daughter Sophia relaunched Quinta de la Rosa, marking the beginning of its own-label port production once again. Shortly afterwards, La Rosa became one of the first quintas to also begin producing wine.
