Porto LBV 2020

Produced in the Douro Valley, Portugal, Quinta da Pacheca is a renowned estate known for its traditional methods and high-quality Port wines. The LBV style is crafted from grapes harvested in a single vintage year, matured in wood before bottling.

The wine is typically made from a blend of traditional Douro grape varieties, including:

• Touriga Nacional
• Touriga Franca
• Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo)
• Tinta Barroca
• Tinto Cão

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo traditional foot-treading or mechanical crushing. Fermentation is carefully controlled to retain natural sweetness and balance. The wine is then aged for 4 to 6 years in oak casks before bottling, allowing it to develop complexity and smooth tannins typical of Late Bottled Vintage Ports.

Quinta da Pacheca LBV Port displays a deep ruby color with intense aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and subtle hints of spice and chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with balanced acidity and velvety tannins, finishing long and smooth with notes of dark fruit and a touch of oak.
