This port is produced from a blend of indigenous grape varities grown in old vineyards on their own estates in the Cima Corgo sub-region of the Douro wine region. The grape varieties included are Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão and Tinta Barroca and they are trodden by foot. Late Bottled Vintage port or LBV port is vintage wine aged between 4 and 6 years in large oak vats before bottling in order to soften the tannins making it more approachable upon release than straight vintage port. The aim is also to retain the rich fruit flavours. The port is bottled unfiltered and laid down in bottle to finish its maturation.
