In an LBV port wine (late-bottle-vintage) a single vintage of port is aged a longer period in the barrel, so that it reaches the complexity and depth of an older port sooner. Quinta da Infantado’s LBV 2021 was rested in barrels, unfixed and unfiltered, until April of 2025. All that barrel time pays off in complex dried fruit, spice, and nut notes - comparable to a 20 or 30 year-aged port. We are fans of all of Quinta da Infantado’s bottlings, as each is sourced from Class A vineyards (comparable to French premier cru). This is a perfect bottle for concluding a special dinner or getting cozy by a wood-burning stove. Lovely on its own or with Serra or Stilton cheeses.
Practicing organic. Blend of touriga nacional, touriga franca, and tinta roriz. 5 years in 100 year-old oak barrel. Gontelho, Douro Valley, Portugal.
