Vista Alegre 2019 LBV Port

A 2019 Late Bottled Vintage port from Vista Alegre, produced from the best grapes of Quinta Vista Alegre. It is unfiltered and bottled in 2023, after cask ageing of between four and six years. It can be enjoyed as an aperitif, with many desserts, and with ice cream and cream-based dishes; decanting makes it softer and rounder. The port shows good sweetness with red fruits and berries, which carry through to the palate, with tannins that settle gently in the glass. Quinta Vista Alegre lies deep in the Douro Valley near Pinhão, with around 55 hectares of vines planted with varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Roriz and Tinto Cão; some vines are close to 100 years old, and foot treading in lagars is still used.
