Quinta de La Rosa LBV 2010 750ML

Description: Almost a Vintage. Freshness and minerality make this the perfect wine lover’s Port.

Grape Varieties: Traditional Port varieties, mainly Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Sousão and Tinta Roriz from La Rosa’s A graded vineyards.

Tasting Note: All our Ports are made in the ‘house style’ namely slightly drier without any cloying sweetness that can be associated with some other ports. We also work hard making sure the brandy is well integrated. The La Rosa style is to make well defined wines without too much extraction and tannin. Aromas of mature fruit, violets and spices characterise this vibrant LBV. An exceptionally  complex wine - rich but in great harmony, full of life and very long. The port gives immense pleasure for immediate drinking. Please make sure the bottle isn’t kept in direct sunlight otherwise it might oxidise.

Winemaking: An extremely high-quality port made from some of the best wines from 2013. The port was foot trodden in granite lagares before aging in large oak ‘tonels’ for 4 years. Lightly filtered. Ready for immediate drinking without the need for decanting.

Pairing: This Port has not been filtered and might throw a light sediment but should not require decanting. Delicious with dessert, especially chocolate, cheese or on its own. Goes well with aged beef, Aged cheeses – typically Stilton. Dark berry desserts.
