Ferreira Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port 2020

Producer

Ferreira is one of the oldest and most traditional port wine houses in Portugal, founded in 1751 and particularly known for its high quality and classic, elegant style. LBV ports from Ferreira are only made in good vintages and represent a great alternative to vintage ports, but with longer barrel aging, making them more ready to drink when released.

Grape varieties

Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinto Cão
(the classic Douro grapes, grown on steep terraces along the Douro River).

Alcohol percentage

20% vol.

Style and flavor profile

Color : Deep ruby ​​red with violet hues.

Nose : Intense aroma of dark berries such as blackberries, plums and blackcurrants, accompanied by notes of chocolate, coffee, dried fruits and a touch of spices.

Taste : Full-bodied and concentrated with ripe tannins, fresh fruit acidity and layers upon layers of dark fruit, cocoa and a touch of licorice. The texture is soft but with structure that promises good aging potential.

Aftertaste : Long, rich and harmonious, where the fruit plays elegantly with the depth of the dish.

Serving and food pairing

Serve slightly chilled (approx. 16–18 °C).

Excellent for:

• • blue cheeses such as Stilton or Roquefort

  • dark chocolate and chocolate desserts

  • fruit-based desserts (especially with berries)

  • as meditation wine without accessories.

Storage

Ferreira LBV 2020 is ready to drink now thanks to the additional barrel aging (4–6 years), but it has enough structure and fruit to develop in the bottle for the next 8–12 years.
