Niepoort Description
Our LBV is aged for 4 to 6 years in large wooden vats. The winemaking and aging methods were chosen to match the selection of wines that make up the LBV: full-bodied red Ports stemming from a single vintage. LBV or Late Bottled Vintage is a category of Port wines that became popular in the 60s, filling the gap between Ruby and Vintage Ports. The extended aging period of the LBV allows it to show a rounder and more mature character –this wine can therefore be enjoyed young, soon after bottling.
Violet glints appear in this wine’s intense ruby-red hue.
The nose reveals aromas of fruits of the forest, spices, and figs.
On the palate, you will find Niepoort’s quintessential structure and elegance. It sets off on sweet notes but finishes dry, with a surprisingly assertive acidity. This Late Bottled Vintage is one of the few wines in its category that is bottled with a real cork instead of a bar top closure. At Niepoort, this means that this Port can already be enjoyed in its youth or left to mature in the bottle for many years.
