Quinta de la Rosa LBV 2019 (50cl)
Quinta de la Rosa has been in the Bergqvist family since 1906 when it was gifted to current owner Sophia Bergvist’s grandmother, Claire, as a christening present. 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. I really think this is sublime! (19.5%)
