| "Roederer Champagne-owned Ramos Pinto has gone for a young style of LBV, exhibiting ripe fresh fruit. Flavors of dark plums and blackberries give it exuberance. Age for five years, but it is drinkable now." WE |

The Late Bottle Vintage
55% Tinta Roriz and 30% Touriga Nacional with 15% Tinta Barroca. A late bottled vintage port that has been aged four years in cask. Extremely fruity on the front palate and a lingering finish. Slight touch of chocolate and a velvety finish. All from an excellent year for Port.
Port is for Portugal!
Although quite small, Portugal produces a great variety of wines ranging from light and fizzy Vinho Verde to hearty and tannic Port. Portugal is Europe's fourth-largest wine-producing region, and has been exporting its wine since the 14th century. The Douro Valley of Portugal is the original and current home for the world's finest Port. The valley spans from east of the city of Oporto all the way to the border of Spain and is the country’s best known wine region. Lesser-appreciated DOCs like Bairrada and Dão area also emerging for their fine, rustic reds.
About Port
Port is a fortified wine made by stopping the fermentation with brandy. The result is a heavy sweet wine, most often red, that is dense, rich and high in alcohol. Port is made all over the world with some great results in Australia and South Africa, but the most famous of these dessert wines come from Portugal. The great port houses (or lodges) are located along the Duoro River on the steep slate slopes high above the valley floor. There are several styles of port, including Ruby, Tawny, Vintage Character, Late Bottle Vintage, Colheita, and Single Quinta. Vintage ports are made in special years that the houses declare.
