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

<p><span>Quinta de la Rosa port wine is made each year in the traditional manner, trodden in granite lagares from grapes grown at Quinta de la Rosa. Each year they keep back a small quantity of their best ports LBV quality and above. It is from these stocks that they blend their Tonel 12. This blending occurs on a regular basis to ensure that stocks are always fresh. For many years, before 1988, when they started selling port under the La Rosa brand, the Bergqvist family used to go down to 'Tonel 12' (a large 25 pipe barrel kept in the lodge under the house) and fill their decanter full of delicious ten year old tawny direct from the barrel. To this day they still refer to Tonel 12, instead of ten year old tawny, and decided to keep the name on the label</span></p>
<p><span>Colheita ports are vintage tawnies, kept in large wooden casks called “tonels” in lodge for at least 7 years before bottling. The idea of a colheita is to produce a wood aged port from one single year (often a ‘vintage’ port quality year)</span></p>
