Quinta de la Rosa LBV 2015 has fabulous dark, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit flavours, a great richness on the palate whilst at the same time exhibiting a wonderful balance and freshness
All ports at Quinta de la Rosa are made in the ‘house style’ namely slightly drier without any cloying sweetness that is often associated with ports. As in their wines, they search for balance, harmony and equilibrium from their vineyards and they try to enable the grapes to express themselves in the bottle. The La Rosa style is to make well defined wines without too much extraction and tannin
Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Souzão and Tinta Roriz
Enjoy
Delicious with dessert, especially chocolate, cheese or on its own
Tasting Notes
Full of fruit (blackcurrants, blackberries and plums) accompanied by floral notes with a touch of spice. It is an enormous wine on the palate but at the same time elegant where the fresh black fruit flavours balance the density and power of the port
Vinification
The LBV port is made in the traditional manner trodden in granite lagares from grapes grown at Quinta de la Rosa. Some of the best port from that year is then kept back to make into our LBV
