Marthas LBV Port 2019 Port Wine 75 cl 19%

2019 was a year when the Douro sun gave the grapes exactly the concentration needed to carry a whole bottle on its own – dark, juicy and ready to drink now.

Expert's Description

Martha's LBV Port 2019 is a Late Bottled Vintage Port from the 2019 harvest in a 75 cl bottle with an alcohol content of 19%.

The style comes from a single, selected harvest and is bottled in the fourth year after picking, giving a Port with the concentrated power of a vintage year but without the need for long bottle ageing or decanting.

Martha's Wine & Spirits has roots as grape growers in Baixo Corgo dating back to 1727, and the LBV style shows the house's ability to balance maturity and freshness in the same bottle.
