Description
This Late Bottled Vintage comes from Ramos Pinto, the Douro house founded in 1880, and is drawn entirely from the 2019 harvest. The blend rests on Sousao, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional, three of the region's benchmark red grapes.
As with all Port, fermentation is arrested by fortifying with grape spirit, which keeps natural sweetness and raises strength. An LBV then ages a few years in cask before bottling, a reductive path compared with Tawny that preserves its almost opaque ruby colour and primary red fruit. The 2019 growing season was marked by milder temperatures, giving balanced ripening and the freshness that runs through the wine.
On the nose it bursts with ripe cherry, fresh strawberry and juicy plum lifted by rose petal. The palate is vibrant, its lively acidity and fine tannins framing the fruit before a long, elegant finish. Serve at cellar temperature after dinner, alongside dark chocolate, blue cheese or a bowl of dark berries and nuts.
