Fonseca Late Bottled Vintage Port
Fonseca Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port is an exceptional fortified wine from Casa Fonseca — one of Portugal's most prestigious and historic Port houses, established in 1822 in Vila Nova de Gaia. A Late Bottled Vintage Port is made from grapes of a single exceptional harvest year, aged in oak casks for 4-6 years before bottling, resulting in a wine that offers the depth and complexity of a vintage port in a more accessible, ready-to-drink style. Fonseca's LBV presents a deep ruby-garnet color with a classic port bouquet of ripe dark cherry, blackberry, plum, dark chocolate, and dried fig, with underlying notes of spice and cedar. On the palate, it is rich, smooth, and concentrated with a luscious sweetness balanced by vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully long, warming finish.
