Quinta da Devesa // Port Wine

Quinta da Devesa Porto Late Bottled Vintage 2017

The LBV comes from a single year, a single harvest, with grapes grown exclusively on our estate. It ages four to six years in oak vats before bottling. It's a distinct LBV, powerful, challenging, full bodied and harmonious, with very well structured tannins, great freshness and fruit. After opening, remains at its best for a further 15 to 30 days, if properly stored. In order to retain as much character and depth as possible, it was bottled using the same method as the Vintage, without any stabilization. As an unfiltered wine, it can be drunk immediately, but it will age beautifully in a cellar, developing further complexity. It may throw some deposit and should be decanted before drinking.

Tasting Notes

Deep rich ruby color, dense and opaque. Intense nose of ripe dark fruits, cocoa and chocolate. On the palate it’s dense, full bodied and harmonious, with dark fruits, prune and chocolate flavours. Lovely balanced with ripe tannins, that lead to a luscious, sweet and long finish. Aged in old barrels for 5 years before bottling, it was bottled in May 2022.
