Description
Churchill's LBV Port is crafted to deliver vintage quality with the accessibility of an earlier drinking window. Sourced from a single harvest, this port is vinified in traditional granite lagares and fortified before being aged for four years in large oak vats, developing depth while retaining vibrant fruit. Bottled unfiltered at 19.5% ABV, it boasts a deep ruby hue and an aromatic profile of blackberry, cherry, licorice, and dark chocolate. The palate is powerful but refined, with firm tannins, sweet black fruit, and a finish accented by peppery spice and Douro freshness. Decanting is recommended to remove natural sediment. LBV is ideal with strong cheeses, chocolate desserts, or berry tarts, and offers an outstanding introduction to Churchill's vintage Port style - crafted for enjoyment both on release and over a decade in the cellar.
