Description
We have curated a selection of exclusive Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Ports for those who want a high-quality, vintage-style Port without the hefty price tag. Aged longer in barrels (typically 4-6 years) than traditional vintage Port, LBV is a great option for both casual sipping and pairing with desserts or cheeses. Plus, unlike vintage Port, it doesn’t require extensive aging or decanting, making it convenient and enjoyable straight from the bottle.
