Product details
Harvested by hand at their optimum point, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified according to a process based on careful maceration with extraction of colour, tannins and aromas from the films, complemented by permanent reassembly during fermentation. This takes place in mills, at a controlled temperature between 28-30ºC, until reaching the desired Baume degree. In this phase, the wine brandy (benefit) is added, giving rise to a fortified wine. LBV is a high quality wine, from a single year considered exceptional, bottled between the fourth and sixth year after harvest.
Grape Varieties:
Traditional grape varieties
Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby colour with violet notes. Aroma of black fruit compote with notes of plum, rockrose and white pepper. In the mouth it is full of youthfulness where the flavours of dark chocolate and liquorice combine perfectly with elegant tannins well integrated. Wonderfully long finish with a hint of cocoa.
