Tasting Notes
Aroma
A young, fresh aroma, revealing concentrated red fruits. Notes of ripe cherry, raspberry and black plum, combined to perfection with eucalyptus and a slight hint of cedar.
Maturation
The wine is aged in Vila Nova de Gaia, in casks of approximately 15,000 litres. The blend was made is March 2022 and bottled in September o the same year.
Appearance
A very concentrated ruby red colour, almost opaque at the core.
Palate
In the mouth we observe notes of cherry and plum, sweet red berries and hints of bergamot, supported by meaty and silky tannins. A wine that is enveloping and harmonious and with exuberant charm.
Vinification
Grapes are harvested by hand in small containers and taken to the lagar to be crushed by foot. Fermentation lasts from 3 to 5 days, producing a wine with excellent extract.
Range Notes
The LBV is a traditional unfiltered Late Bottled Vintage, with no hot or cold treatment, thus preserving the existing fruit and with great ageing potential.
Vintage Notes
In the Douro Region, the winter of 2018 was cold and dry, with low rainfall. The rain finally came with the onset of spring, falling copiously and intensely, while temperatures were cool, both delaying the harvest and hindering work on the vineyards. August and September were hot and dry, which resulted in a perfect state of maturation. The 2018 wines are characterised by their freshness and perfect balance.
Food Matching
Pairs beautifully with game. red meat, cheese souffl, Serra cheese and other fatty cheeses, and chocolate desserts.
Region Notes
Grapes sources from our Quintas of Bom Retiro (55%) and Ervamoira (45%).
