  Dalva LBV 2019 Late Bottled Vintage Portugal Port Wine 75 cl 20%

  Item no.: 222278654-67676

  2019 was a vintage the Douro Valley remembered for its quality, and Dalva chose to give the grapes from that exact year a prominent place in this Late Bottled Vintage – ready to drink without any waiting.

  Expert's Description

  Dalva LBV 2019 is a Portuguese Late Bottled Vintage Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 20%.

  The LBV style was created as a faster alternative to traditional Vintage Port: the wine is aged four to six years in cask – far longer than a standard Ruby – and is therefore ready to drink immediately, without needing to be decanted or aged further in the bottle.

  Behind the bottle stands Dalva, the brand of the Port house C. da Silva in Vila Nova de Gaia, founded in 1862 under the name Corrêa Ribeiro e Filhos. The house took on its current identity in 1933, when Clemente da Silva took over the firm after arriving from Brazil.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is intensely fruity, with raspberry, blackberry and other dark berries, complemented by elegant cocoa notes.

  Palate

  The palate is full-bodied, spiced and fresh, with a jammy, juicy character kept in check by soft tannins and a touch of dark cherry.

  Finish

  The finish is persistent and well structured, closing on a final note of dark chocolate.

  Quinta De Ventozelo LBV 2014 Late Bottled Vintage Portugal Portvin 75 cl 20%

  Item no.: 22222015-99663

  From one of the Douro Valley's largest and oldest estates comes this LBV - a Port where five hundred hectares of vines and centuries of history are concentrated into a single bottle.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta De Ventozelo LBV 2014 is a Late Bottled Vintage Port from the Douro Valley in Portugal with an alcohol content of 20%.

  The wine comes from the 2014 harvest and spent a few years in cask before being bottled ready to drink - a style that gives it the weight and maturity usually associated with an older vintage Port, without the long bottle ageing. The grapes come from the estate's own vineyards, which span more than 500 hectares between Pinhão and Ervedosa do Douro.

  Quinta de Ventozelo is one of the oldest and largest quintas in the Douro Valley. The property can be traced back to a royal survey from 1288 and was once farmed by Cistercian monks before passing to a noble family from Lamego in the 1500s. In 2014 the estate was acquired by Gran Cruz, Portugal's largest exporter of Port wine, which has since modernised both vineyards and cellars and opened the estate to wine tourism.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose offers dark, macerated berries and a hint of spice that hints at the weight the wine has gained during cask ageing.

  Palate

  The palate is full and round, with ripe dark fruit and soft, well-integrated tannins that give a generous yet approachable impression.

  Finish

  The finish is warm and persistent, with a light sweetness that rounds the wine off elegantly.

  Quinta do Noval 2016 Late Bottled Vintage Port Wine Portugal 75 cl 19,5%

  Item no.: 22227865479-113

  2016 was one of those years when the Douro's grapes reached a rare concentration. Five years on, unfiltered and full of spiced dark fruit, this LBV shows what the wait can achieve.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval 2016 Late Bottled Vintage is a Portuguese LBV Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 19.5%.

  Like the house's other LBV releases, the 2016 vintage is made from grapes trodden using the traditional method and sourced exclusively from that single harvest. The Port is aged for up to five years in cask before being bottled unfiltered, giving it a more complex, spicier style than a younger Ruby Port.

  2016 brought a mix of early-season rain and warm, dry weather heading into harvest, giving grapes with good balance between sweetness and acidity. Quinta do Noval has made LBV since the 1970s as an accessible expression of the house's Vintage style.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is deep and dark, with ripe plum, a touch of liquorice and a hint of espresso.

  Palate

  The palate is sweet and full-bodied, with cherry, dark chocolate and a warm, generous strength carried well by the acidity.

  Finish

  The finish is long and broad, with a slightly bitter espresso note that rounds off the experience.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval Gift Box is a Portuguese gift set with 4 selected Ports from the Douro Valley, each 37.5 CL and bottled at 19.5%.

  The gift set brings together four smaller bottles that, together, show the breadth of Quinta do Noval's range — from a fresh, young style to a more mature and rounded character. This makes the box ideal for anyone who wants to taste through several styles without opening four full bottles at once.

  Quinta do Noval has produced Port on its own land in the Douro Valley since 1715 and is today one of the most respected names in the trade, not least thanks to the legendary Nacional vineyard. The gift box is designed as an introduction to the house's styles and suits both newcomers and seasoned Port drinkers.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose varies from bottle to bottle, but the set shares fresh fruit, dried nuts and a touch of caramel.

  Finish

  The finish differs from style to style, but is consistently clean and well balanced.

  Quinta do Noval Late bottled Vintage 2017 LBV Port wine 75 cl 19,5%

  Item no.: 22227865464-2021-03-005232

  Five years in cask before the bottle is even filled — that's the recipe behind an LBV, giving the power of the grapes time to settle. 2017 was a warm year in the Douro, and it shows in the glass.

  Expert's Description

  Quinta do Noval Late Bottled Vintage 2017 is a Portuguese LBV Port from the Douro Valley, aged in oak casks and bottled at 19.5%.

  LBV stands for Late Bottled Vintage and is made on the same principles as a classic Vintage Port — the grapes are trodden traditionally, and only the finest lots from a single year are used. The difference lies in the ageing: while a Vintage Port is bottled after just two years, an LBV matures for up to five years in cask before being bottled, unfiltered.

  2017 was another warm, dry year in the Douro Valley, giving grapes with high ripeness and concentration. Quinta do Noval has made LBV Ports for decades as a way of making the house's Vintage style more accessible without compromising on method.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is intense with dark berries, a touch of liquorice and a mild spiciness.

  Palate

  The palate is full-bodied and complex, with juicy blackberry and blackcurrant, dark chocolate and a hint of mint.

  Finish

  The finish is long and broad, with soft tannins and a warm, spicy close.

  Did You Know?

  Because an LBV is bottled unfiltered, it can develop a light sediment over time — just like a classic Vintage Port — a sign that it's made using the traditional method rather than rushed through production.
