This LBV from Niepoort shows two things - great value and serious quality - both attributes that could be ascribed to all of Niepoort's wines and Ports!
The grapes for the LBV come from low-yielding vineyards in the Cima Corgo region in the Douro Valley. The wine ages in large oak vats and vats in the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia. It is Niepoort's tradition to bottle the LBV four years after the harvest: according to Dirk, it is better to “bottle this Port as soon as possible so that the LBV's freshness and fruit is revealed at the time of the tasting”.
Delicious chocolatey smooth flavours and a rich, balanced finish. Serve with soft cheeses, mild blue cheese, dark chocolate desserts or a pepper steak!

Product Description

Niepoort's wines are incredible: brilliantly made and at very good prices, they represent the value and flavours of the Douro and its great historic export, Port, in a very classy and approachable way.



Late Bottled Vintage port is from a single year. The wine ages 4-6 years in old oak casks (opposed to Vintage that ages 2-3). LBV fills the gap between the rubies and the vintage ports since a Ruby Port should be drunk quite young and a great Vintage Port may need 15 to 20 years to really open up and show its splendour. This led to the idea in the 1960s to age the wine 4 to 6 years in large casks before bottling it, thereby producing a wine with the style of a Vintage Port with its deep colour and concentration of fruit but with a more mature character caused by the longer ageing in wood.



Late bottled vintage is the perfect port to accompany chocolate desserts, specially if dark/bitter chocolate is used!
