[SOLD-OUT] Quinta do Noval LBV Unfiltered 2016

 

"Grapes were trodden by foot in the "lagares", the traditional stone vats from the Quinta, to obtain the must. Then they are macerated during fermentation to obtain the best possible extraction of the polyphenolic compounds. Fermentation lasted 3 days.

The wine matures 5 years in Portuguese oak and Chestnut casks instead of 2 years for a Classic Vintage. This explains its name, "Late Bottled Vintage". Longer maturing in casks helps provide a smoother wine and gives it its very approachable style, ready to drink as soon as it is bottled.

Quinta do Noval is one of the great Port houses, producing not only the most famous Vintage Port (the legendary Nacional), but also creating the ‘late-bottled’ style as well as the first single vintage Tawny Ports, both in the 1950’s." - Quinta do Noval
