About this deal

Late Bottled Vintage(LBV) is similar to Vintage Port in that it is from a single year and made of high quality fruit. Unlike Vintage, it is bottled after a longer time in barrels, four to six years, and it’s produced every year, not just in the most outstanding years.

When a port is described as tawny, without an indication of age, it is a basic blend of wood-aged port that has spent time in wooden barrels, typically at least three years. It is also possible to produce an aged white port in this manner, with some shippers now marketing aged white ports.

Port wines come in several different varieties, the main differences being driven by the quality of the original harvest and the method chosen to age the wine. All port wine will spend at least two to three years aging in wooden vats - those which are deemed ready for drinking become the ruby and white port that is the bulk of port sold. Port wines fall into two main categories: Ruby, which matures in the bottle, and Tawny, which matures in wooden barrels. Here's how to make sense of the dizzying array of Port wines in each category. Ruby Wines

The former, without exposure to air, experience what is known as "reductive" ageing. This process leads to the wine losing its color very slowly and produces a wine that is smoother on the palate and less tannic. Tawny Port begins its life as red port that has been selected for laying down in oak casks for extended aging - years of gentle oxidation in the wood turns the red port a lighter brown colour known as tawny. Aging of between 10 and 40 years produces tawny ports characterised by their smoothness and the aroma and taste of spice, dried fruit and nuttiness. Crusted port is bottled unfiltered and sealed with a driven cork. Like vintage port, it needs to be decanted before drinking.

Fino Sherry retains all its delicate, perfumed nuttiness when paired with artichokes or tomatoes. There are so many pairing options for sherry to enjoy at home or when dining out.

Aged port wine contains a family of bluish phenolic pigments called portosins (vinylpyranoanthocyanins) [40] and oxovitisin A, an oxovitisin, a type of pyranoanthocyanin with a 2-pyrone component. [41] See also [ edit ]
