Discover Port2Port's selection of Late Bottled Vintage Port. LBV is made from grapes from a single vintage and ages longer in the barrel before the port is bottled.
As a result, LBV combines the powerful, fruity character associated with Vintage Port with a style that is generally more accessible to drink.
LBV stands for Late Bottled Vintage. Unlike Vintage Port, this port remains in the barrel for several years before being bottled. The harvest year is always listed on the bottle.
The style may vary by producer and vintage, but LBV often offers a combination of ripe dark fruit, structure, and the typical richness of port.
Late Bottled Vintage is a good choice for those looking for a port from a specific vintage without necessarily opting for extended bottle aging.
At Port2Port, you'll find LBV from various renowned port houses and vintages.
